Course Description

Honors Literature and Film uses the pedagogical methods common to all Honors courses: interdisciplinary, writing-intensive, collaborative, and experiential instruction. As an honors course, there is a focus on analytical writing and an emphasis on a higher degree of student participation and leadership in class discussions and other interactive teaching/learning techniques that are generally unsuitable for larger undergraduate classes.This course examines cultural, artistic, historical, critical and theoretical aspects of selected works of literature and film. Students have the opportunity to engage a wide range of film and literature--often including adaptations of one into the other--as they learn to analyze and evaluate the techniques used by artists in both media.
