Notes:<\/i>\u00a0 Materials for the on-line inter-disciplinary portion of 1202 are available in the TPP Community and the Writing Faculty Blackboard course; faculty members are also free to use their own source materials, so long as they fit their theme and fall into the required number of sources (3-5).<\/p>\n
The sample syllabus is from a Humanities version of the course.\u00a0\u00a0 Obviously, another version would use different inter-disciplinary focuses, but the basic idea will be the same.\u00a0 The largest portion of the readings, by far, is from the literature text.\u00a0 The on-line accompanying readings are supplemental and linked closely to the literary focus of the course.<\/p>\n
Note that the film portion of the last third of the course involves showing only excerpts of films, not entire class meetings devoted to watching a film.\u00a0 Students can be directed to view films on their own.\u00a0 Small portions of film, however, may be shown and discussed in class.<\/p>\n
If you have any questions about creating your syllabus, please contact Dr. Kelly Shea, Director of First Year Writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
