| 本課旨在學生賞析、了解，並進而討論英文文學作品。文學作品就像是人生珠玉，是其所屬的時代和時刻的結晶。但藉由我們的研讀和討論，它們也可以對我們說話，呈現我們的感情和問題。
u 主題：愛情、家庭關係、年少生活、自我認同和人生抉擇。 u 討論不同文體、時代和作家﹐以呈現英文文學文體之豐富。 u 訓練學生閱讀、分析英文文學作品之能力。 · To introduce readers to classic short stories and poems in English · To cover a broad scope of styles, periods and authors in order to represent the myriad styles of writing in English · To help students develop their critical English reading ability Tips for success: In the past, I've noticed that students have tried to do the post-reading questions and comment on the board without looking at the video in order to "save time". Not a good idea. Some of the material has tricky parts which I discuss in the video. The videos are your "class time" so taking the class without watching them is like not taking the class at all.
Give yourself plenty of time each week for the video, readings and answering the questions. The course is a two-credit course, so it's expected you spend two hours of "class time" and at least two hours (up to four hours) of "homework" time. If you need more than six hours a week for the class per week, please let me know. I need to track these things.
Relax and enjoy the experience. It's literature. It's supposed to be fun (relatively speaking). I've tried to pick "fun" works that aren't too difficult, again relatively speaking. But at the end of the day, I'd rather you had fun than anything else.
Participate! The more you join in on the discussions, the more you'll feel like a part of the class.
If you have any, ANY, ANY QUESTIONS please feel free to ask-e-mail me, chat with me, ask Buck. Don't be afraid! Buck was my student for many years, and I know he's good with literature, a computer whiz and a really nice person to boot. Neither of us will bite you.

作業說明
＊作業繳交：英才網教學平台: ＊期中、期末考：, 11/19, 2006/1/21（到校） ＊其他到校時間︰9/24 (第一次上課) At the end of each week, I will be collecting the "post reading" questions on each poem. I know this sounds like a lot of work, but I find the more frequently I collect them, the better the students' grades, as they write the answers out when everything is fresh in their minds. I will also be posting questions on the discussion boards. To make your life easier, some of them will be the post-reading questions, so you can just cut and paste your answer. Others will be original to the board. Please answer the questions, as they are worth 25% of your grade. It is also a good idea to read your classmates' comments. Once a week I'd like you to comment on at least one of your classmates' comments. Feel free to comment on more, though. Buck and I will be responding to you as well.
