【Course Objectives】

In this course, students from different national cultures and disciplines will collaborate to apply literary studies to real life questions or issues. The course will introduce the basics of literary studies, equip students to develop a project, and guide them to apply their understanding of literature to a real life question or issue. It is designed for students who are not majoring in literature, but literature majors are welcome to participate and share their expertise with other students. Please note that students will only practice debating critically and analytically about a literary passage and will not learn to produce a literary essay.

This course will address 3 Cubic Curriculum skills of The ACE program, namely 1) Critical Thinking, 2) Communication, and 3) Collaboration:

1) Students will learn to analyze and think critically about a literary passage and examine what kind of questions literary critics ask. They will learn to formulate their argument about a literary passage and learn to back it up with evidence.
2) Students will evaluate and revise language, form, and style to communicate ideas and opinions to audience members and readers of diverse disciplinary and cultural backgrounds.
3) Students will define clear goals, listen actively, and share responsibility to develop and complete a group project.

In addition, students will develop their project development and implementation skills. Specifically, they will:
・Develop specific and realistic project goals.
・Develop appropriate strategies to achieve project goals.
・Create a product that will best represent the findings.
・Develop a system to record and organize project plans and findings.
・Identify and apply research ethics.

While the course does not aim to develop interdisciplinary skills, students can practice them when interacting with group members. They may be able to discover similarities and differences as well as intersections between different disciplinary perspectives. They are encouraged to bring in their knowledge of their field to create an interdisciplinary project.

【Course Contents】

This course will be conducted by a Seoul National University professor, who researches on nineteenth-century European literature and mathematics in literature.

The course opens with an introduction to literary studies. Students will move beyond simply sharing their initial thoughts and feelings about a literary work to identifying linguistic choices and literary techniques, analyzing their effects, and thinking critically about how an author has decided to present a particular topic. They will work through questions in groups to develop their close reading skills (specific literary passages TBD).

The course will then transition into applying students' literary understanding to a real life question or issue. Since this course is aimed at students who are not majoring in literature, they will be encouraged to "borrow" from literary studies to think critically about their own disciplines and even combine the knowledge and skills of literary studies and their own field. Moreover, this course will motivate students to think about the role that literature plays in our daily life and think again about the popular belief that literature deals only with fiction.

This course is unique in that students from China, Japan, Korea, and possibly Singapore can work together. Students will use the class times to develop a group project. Specifically, they will brainstorm ideas, develop a project proposal and get feedback on it from the class, revise their group project based on the feedback, conduct their project, and present their findings. Each student will be expected to submit a record of his or her research notes at the end of the course.

Students will be assessed based on their effort and the quality of their work.
