2007-08 BM1: Session 1

Back to 2007-08 BM1 Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature, Part 1

What do you have to do?

Take a look at texts we design to speak about

With the individual lectures we provided a reading list. See the "reading" column on the schedule.

Some of the titles listed are interesting as historical materials - they shed light on lost concepts of time and debates. Others are supposed to lead you into the historical reading list we recommend as a background to all who study English.

Use the links we provided within the schedule to take a look at materials before our lectures. Download these materials as pdf-files, leaf through them. You should take short notes of your first impressions. At least two of the titles should become more important in your portfolios.

Produce at least two excerpts of texts we introduce

You are expected to read (or examine) two titles of our schedule's reading list more closely and to eventually hand in Excerpts with your reading experiences. We will not mark these excerpts, yet we will tell you whether we think that such excerpts will be of help in your further studies. Read the Excerpt-Handout for practical advice.

Use the MLA-Bibliography to get to modern research

Use the MLA-Bibliography to make a list of research on a question concerning one of your excerpt-texts. Your list of articles has to be handed in with your excerpt.

Pass the written test on Jan. 12, 2008

This is a one hour test touching various fields we went through during the semester.
