(novel)
All students are expected to
participate actively by attending classes and taking part in course activities
(written tasks, discussions, etc.). Active participation is important for
improving your English.
You should prepare for each
class by reading the specified passages in the compendium and the novel
(references given in the lecture plan refer to chapters of the compendium). You
will also be given tasks to work with in class and at home.
During the course, all
students must submit two papers. It is a prerequisite for taking the final exam
that these have been approved by your teacher. The final assessment is based on
a final written exam.
Classfronter: http://blyant.uio.no
Course material, list of
secondary sources, and relevant links will be distributed here. Classfronter
also contains a discussion forum, which you will all be expected to participate
in, for written practice.
