Course Description
The primary purpose of the course is to familiarize you with readings by selected British writers
from the nineteenth century to the present. We will explore major trends of the Romantic,
Victorian, and Modern literary periods in works of fiction, poetry, and drama. We will approach
the readings not only as individual works of art to be read creatively and enjoyed imaginatively
and intellectually, but also as representatives of major cultural movements of the past two
hundred years in the English-speaking world.
This course is designed to help you enjoy the literature of this period more thoroughly; to
improve your ability to appreciate literature of any period; to think critically and discuss your
responses confidently; and to write clear analytical essays.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, students will be able to
Discuss the works of major British writers in the following contexts:
Literary periods (Romantic, Victorian, and Modern Literature (Twentieth Century)
Literature as an expression of human values within an historical and social context
Students will demonstrate the following intellectual competencies:
Reading – the ability to analyze and interpret a variety of printed materials, books,
documents, and articles
Writing – the ability to produce clear, correct, and coherent prose adapted to purpose,
occasion, and audience (above 12th
grade level)
Critical Thinking – the ability to think and analyze at a critical level

Note that “C” means “Average” university work. It means you have performed acceptably; you
have met the minimum standard. It does not mean you have failed or that you are a failure as a
human being. I understand that many of you must maintain a certain minimum GPA to retain
scholarships or other financial aid. To achieve this GPA you should plan on working hard, rather
than asking me to give you a grade higher than the one you earned.
How to Succeed in this Class
Read with energy, interest, and pleasure. Approach reading as an exchange of questions
between yourself and the text. Take copious notes. I underline key passages but also note at the
top of the pages and in the margins any important ideas or questions that occur to me. I also
keep an intensive, ongoing index at the front of the book where I note ideas with page numbers
under categories such as foreshadowing, themes, characterization, etc. This index enables me to
readily find textual support when preparing essays.
Come to class prepared to engage with your texts, your colleagues, and me—that is, read
the assigned works and look at the designated web pages or videos by the date indicated on the
schedule and be ready to discuss them. Prepare the in-class assignments. Arrive with
interpretations and questions you want answered. I do not plan to lecture. Instead, I hope to
5
facilitate discussions and debates in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I will also provide
opportunities for you to build on the knowledge you acquired through the pre-class assignments
by structured cooperative learning activities.
View your writing as a process. Jot down notes and consult your self-created index
before you start writing the essays. Come to my office to discuss ideas, research, drafts, and
rewrites. Use your colleagues as readers and sources of feedback.
If you have questions or concerns about readings, assignments, grades, or anything else
connected with the course, please feel free to see me. I like getting to know students better. I am
available during the office hours listed above and by appointment.
Class Procedures
I have deliberately designed this course to result in deep, rather than surface learning.
You can read about deep learning in a paper I wrote, Promoting Deep Learning:
http://www.theideacenter.org/sites/default/files/IDEA_Paper_47.pdf. Basically, deep learning is
predicated on four premises: motivation, active learning, student-student interaction, and deep
foundational knowledge based on concepts. Thus, I will regularly expect you to complete pre-
class assignments (“homework”) based on extensive reading and web page and video viewings.
These assignments will receive pass-fail points (all or nothing) if you bring to class a satisfactory
response to the assignment. Unlike homework, which is often stuffed into a teacher’s briefcase,
pre-class assignments will actually be used in class for discussions and for in-class activities.
Thus the motivating pre-class assignments will be processed more deeply in class using active
learning and student-student interactions through cooperative learning activities. You can read
more about cooperative learning in a paper I wrote, Enhancing Learning—and more!—Through
Cooperative Learning:
http://www.theideacenter.org/sites/default/files/IDEA_Paper_38.pdf.
6
The process of expecting students to come to class fully prepared with a deep knowledge
base they have acquired out-of-class that can be deepened through in-class discussions and
activities is currently referred to as the “flipped” or “inverted” classroom model. Educause
describes flipped/inverted classrooms as follows: “The flipped classroom is a pedagogical
model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. The
notion of a flipped classroom draws on such concepts as active learning, student engagement,
hybrid course design, and course podcasting. The value of a flipped class is in the repurposing
of class time into a workshop where students can inquire about lecture content, test their
skills in applying knowledge, and interact with one another in hands-on activities. Although
implementing a flipped classroom places different demands on faculty and forces students to
adjust their expectations, the model has the potential to bring about a distinctive shift in
priorities—from merely covering material to working toward mastery of it.”
Seven Things You Should Know about Flipped Classrooms (Educause Learning Initiative—ELI)
http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7081.pdf
Class Policies
Attendance and Make-up Exams/Late Work:
Students must not only attend every class, but they must also arrive on time, be prepared (all
reading, viewing, and pre-class assignments complete), and take an active part in class (see
Participation, below). You are expected to attend all class for the full duration of each
instructional session. Once you get to class, you are expected to stay in the classroom until the
class is over. Leaving class early or getting up in the middle of class is disruptive. Students may
be required to sign in at the beginning and/or end of each class session to verify their attendance.
If you have more than three (3) unexcused absences, I will have the option of lowering your final
grade 5% for each absence, including the first three. If you miss more than ten (10) classes for
ANY reason you should withdraw from the class. If you must miss class for school activities
such as athletics, band, etc., you must bring to me a list, signed by the appropriate faculty or
athletic department member, of the date(s) this absence(s) will occur. Medical emergencies,
validated by a doctor’s note, are excusable. Regular scheduled doctor or dentist appointments
made in advance are not. Absences due to oversleeping, defective alarm clocks, heavy traffic,
lack of parking, etc. are likewise not excusable.
7
You are responsible for getting the notes from your colleagues for any class you miss. If you
miss or are late to (unexcused) any test or final examination, you will be able to take a later
replacement essay test or examination only at my discretion and at a time and place of my
choosing; you will be penalized 10% of the total possible points on the assignment. You can
take a makeup test or final examination you missed due to an excused absence with no penalty—
just be aware a makeup tends to be more difficult than the one you missed. Quizzes missed for
any reason cannot be made up.
Students unable to attend class should contact me regarding their absence in advance or as soon
as they return to school. Excessive absences or repeated tardiness will result in a lowered grade
and may result in failure of the course at the instructor’s discretion.
All assignment deadlines and scheduled exam dates are provided at the beginning of the
semester; therefore, late exam papers will be penalized by one-half of a letter grade drop grade
per day late. I will not accept excuses such as “crashed computers,” “lost flash drives,” or
“empty printer ink cartridges.” Save all computer work on your computer’s hard drive with a
back-up on a flash drive or removable storage device. Because the pre-class assignments are
actively used in the class period they are due, no late submission are possible. You will lose the
points that each missed assignment is worth, which will significantly impact your final grade.
Participation:
In addition to careful reading, I expect active participation and good attendance from everyone. I
believe in the educational benefits of a dynamic, interactive classroom. Students learn more,
absorb more, and remember more in classes where they respond actively to the course materials.
Thus, lack of preparation for class and irregular attendance will hurt your grade; good attendance
and active participation in class discussions will improve your grade.
Because students have different ways of actively contributing to the class, I try to be flexible and
open-minded about how I evaluate participation. In general, however, I will generously reward
students who contribute week after week to the class discussions with intelligent, thought-
provoking comments that demonstrate careful reading of the texts and thoughtful attention to
what others have said. If you miss class you obviously cannot contribute to class discussion, so
this will be reflected in your grade. If you attend class regularly (fewer than three unexcused
absences) but never participate, you will receive a C (30/50 pts.) for your
attendance/participation grade.
I am strong believer in the value of group work to promote learning and help students feel
connected to other students in class. Therefore, I will place students in semi-permanent groups
where you can complete a number of in-class activities.
8
Plagiarism and Cheating:
Plagiarism includes copying or paraphrasing another’s words, ideas, or facts without crediting
the source; submitting a paper written by someone else, either in whole or in part, as one’s own
work; or submitting work previously submitted for another course or instructor. Plagiarism,
cheating, or other forms of academic dishonesty on any assignment will result in failure (a grade
of zero) for that assignment and may result in further disciplinary action, including but not
limited to failure for the course and expulsion from the University.
Scholastic dishonesty is a serious offense at the University (UTSA Student Code of Conduct,
Sections 202 and 203 -- http://www.utsa.edu/infoguide/appendices/b.cfm).
Any assignments that show evidence that they have not been completed directly by the student,
any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts will not
be accepted and could result in automatic failure in the course. Scholastic dishonesty also
includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, and collusion. Academic misconduct makes
the student subject to possible consequences from the University. Behavior that is not consistent
with the guidelines presented in the SCC will be addressed by the instructors and referred to
Student Judicial Affairs for review. Additional information and resources area available for
students and faculty at
http://www.utsa.edu/osja/scholastic.cfm
Disabilities Statement
If you need accommodation related to a disability, please make an appointment during my
office hours to discuss your needs. Students requesting accommodation must be registered with
Disability Services (www.utsa.edu/disability) and provide me with an accommodation letter.
THE UNIVERSITY CATALOG: All regulations regarding academic conduct, responsibilities,
and rights, as they appear in the current university catalogue, apply in this course.
