ENGL 701 - Literary Scholarship
This is a research methods course for students in the M.A. tracks in
Literature, the Teaching of Writing and Literature, and Professional
Writing and Editing. The course is intended to familiarize you with
basic sources and techniques for pursuing your own research, both in
future course work and in your professional life. Course exercises are
designed to provide "hands on" practice with identifying,
evaluating, and using sources that you can then apply to a research
project of your own design. The purpose of the project is to develop
your ability to pursue original and significant research, to formulate
issues and manage argument, and to master the standard scholarly protocols
of our field. ENGL 701 also aims to introduce you to the scope of English
studies today and to significant problems and issues that shape our
practice as readers, writers, researchers, and (in some cases) teachers.
Required work includes several short analytical assignments and a 20-page
research project plus bibliography.
