Assignment Syllabi
English Composition syllabi are subject to change each semester. I will add updated versions as I receive them. As of the Spring 2012 semester, here are assignment sheets with the requirements for selecting sources, number, etc. Because, students don't often remember what they need!
Literary Techniques
Major/Minor Characters (Catalog Subject Heading)
- Characters and characteristics in literature
Books
Literary Criticism Specific Resources
As far as reference books go, my favorite reference resources are Contemporary, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Century Literary Criticism. I think the link to the databases is pretty self-explanatory. Note the tutorials on the lefthand side of the "Databases" page and the GALE index to literary criticism (which is a FREE resource that allows students to determine which print reference books contain literary criticism on their author/novel).
- Finding BooksThere are subject headings/keywords listed under this tab, which I think will help students retrieve the best search results.
- Finding DatabasesI've hand-selected the best databases for literary criticism here.
