African Poetry

(All sections) We have studied a few African poems in class during these last weeks (i.e., "These too are our elders" by J Mapanje, "The Casualties" by C Achebe, "When tomorrow is too long" by T Ojaide, and "How can I sing" by O Ofeimun). Re-read Jack Mapanje's poem and try to express the old man's position within the context portrayed in the poem. You must submit your text BEFORE Sunday.

This Term Papers...

At long last... We have finally decided your paper will deal with one author, Oscar Wilde, and two works, "The Importance of Being Earnest" (Drama - Comedy) and The Picture of Dorian Grey (Prose - Novel). You can download both works from this blog and start reading as soon as possible. You can re-read general instructions and recommendations on writing papers. Further instructions and more specific questions will be posted soon so that you can make concrete questions and actually start writing. And... will you, please, tell your friends about this post?
Thanks, beforehand!

Being updated depends on you!

You are gradually getting to know better what's required from you as a participant in our Literature courses. Please, check the downloadable information (in the column on the right) and decide what you need to revise.
Notice, we have also added an Excel file (Check your own record...) for you to fill in and keep your own performance under permanent surveillance, in case you want to know how you are doing at any point of the course. It's your choice; so, there is no need to ask the professor in turn! Keep going!

Notice, please, that -since course programmes are official documents- the information in the programme has been published in Spanish. Hence, there is no mistake involved.

Then, the first things you will find in this blog are: Course Programme, Calendar, Syllabus, and Evaluation Plan for the current term. Make comments and suggestions as soon as you can, please.
