During the January term I’ll be teaching two sections of ENG 121 for Westwood Online, as I did every term last year.
I’m also scheduled to teach one section each of ENG 131, HUM 122, and LIT 127 at Red Rocks this spring. I taught ENG 131, Technical Writing, last spring and this fall. HUM 122 covers 800 to 1750 CE. For LIT 127, Study of the Novel, I’ve selected the following books:
-
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
-
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
-
The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather
-
My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
-
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
-
The Elvenbane by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey
I picked novels with the same theme, a child growing up, but from different times and places, including the future and another world. The class might end up being canceled. The last time I checked, there were only five students registered for it, and there have to be twelve for it to run.
In addition, I’m going to be teaching a section of ENGL 112 online for Mesa State College. The catalog description for the course is brief: “Critical writing about literature; research.” I’m going to use The Bedford Researcher for the class. I figure the literary resources I need can be found online.
