New Honors class for fall semester
This fall, Professor of English Joyce Brotton and I will be offering a new linked pair of Honors courses: Her English 244, Survey of English Literature II, will be paired with my Geology 106, Historical Geology. Enrollment is for Honors students or by permission of the instructors only. Both classes will meet in CS 219 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Dr. Brotton will teach from 11:30am-12:45pm, then we'll have a lunch break for 45 minutes. At 1:30pm, I'll pick up with lecture until 2:45pm, and on Wednesdays, we will follow that with lab.
Dr. Brotton and I have collaborated in planning the curriculum, which in the literature half of the class will include readings of Darwin, Lyell, and "A Pair of Blue Eyes" by Thomas Hardy (which features trilobite eyes!). Joyce plans to conclude the literature class with The French Lieutenant's Woman, which attempts to reconcile man's place in a world that science is revealing more and more to be indifferent to man. On the geology end of things, writing the field trip reports will hopefully more of a satisfying practice with an English professor on hand to advise!
Interested NOVA students should contact Dr. Brotton or me for more details.
