Spring quarter

Here's a taste of a grad class in the humanities (English). 

ENG 428: Shakespeare

Reading list: Taming of the Shrew; Twelfth Night; Macbeth; Titus Andronicus; Othello; Antony and Cleopatra; Richard III; The Tempest.  Plus sonnets, contemporary workings (Gloria Naylor's Mama Day), and about 30 (!) pieces of criticism including two full-length books. 

Things to accomplish: three 5-6 pg. essays, one 30-minute presentation including a performance of a particular scene with our own  "creative interpretation,"  active participation in class (if you're quiet, you lose), 7-source annotated bibliography, thesis proposal, and final 10-15 page paper due June 5th. 

This is a nice workload for a regular 15-week semester, but we're on much too short 10-week quarters here.  I'll post a summary of the syllabus for my other class, History of the English Language, on Thursday.
