ENGL 378 - Contemporary Native American Authors: Telecourse

Units: 3
One hour lecture per week and four hours activity per week.
An introduction to the fiction and poetry produced by contemporary Native Americans. Authors of the works studied join the discussion of their work and concepts important to their work. Modes of discourse and the impact of Native American cultures, concerns and philosophy on the fiction and poetry of these authors are the primary foci of the course. Students will meet with the course instructor three times during the semester; otherwise, students will view the telecourse tapes, read the assigned books, read the essays in the workbook, and do the assigned activities explained in the workbook on their own.
