课程编码:180089050200MX003H 英文名称:The Narration of Science and Technology in Anglo-American Novels 课时:30 学分:1.00 课程属性:公共选修课 主讲教师:安帅

教学目的要求
This course is designed for graduate students of all majors. It aims to provide students with new perspectives of appreciating canonical English and American literary works with prominent narration of science and technology. Students will enjoy themselves through discovering the constant interaction between literature and science, thus lessening the general sense of distance between serious literature and real life due to the gaps of time and space as well as narrowing the gap between humanities and scientific disciplines. By getting in touch with some of the greatest minds in human history, they will embark on a journey of literature that is both fun and enriching. They will learn to become critical and experienced readers and their perception of the nature of knowledge and culture may be sharpened. In the meantime, their English language proficiency can be enhanced.
Students are required to proactively participate in class activities. They are encouraged to form pairs or small groups to give oral reports or presentations. A term paper is required based on the works and topics discussed in class.
