ENGL400

ENGL 400 is the capstone course for the English major. During the semester, students will be introduced to theory and schools of criticism and study them alongside primary sources, so to develop an informed sense of how literature responds to applied theory and criticism, as well as of how theory and criticism form their own body of literature. Throughout the semester students will work on developing a definitive research paper representing the culmination of the skills (the learning outcomes) developed throughout all of the previous English major coursework. Students will as well create an "English Major Statement" that will require students to reflect upon and then express in essay form all they have learned, experienced, and accomplished throughout their time as English majors in the English program.
