603-102-MQ - Literary Genres (60 hours)
(June 5th to June 28th, 2023, Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.)
Throughout this course, we will study literature as a way of exploring the varied connections between sport and human nature. Readings for the course will consist of novels, poems, and stories (fictional or not) that present central themes surrounding athletic competition. We will discuss sport as a metaphor for life and cover topics including the following: obsessive fandom, tribalism, the heroic glory of achievement, and the fear of failure. We will examine the ways in which sport highlights the best and the worst of human behavior.

603-103-MQ - Literary Themes (60 hours)
(July 4th to July 27th, 2023, Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.)
In this course, students apply an analytical approach to a literary theme. Examples of themes include: American Classics, English Classics II, Major Authors in Translation, Shakespeare Then and Now, Post-Colonial Literature, The Literary Animal, The Bible as Literature, Fiction in Adaptation, Children and Literature.

603-CXH-HR - Communication and Literature (60 hours)
(July 4th to July 27th, 2023, Monday to Thursday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.)
This final English course considers how we might best communicate about literature. The course takes multiple genres of literature as its content and explores different ways of reading and, more important, different modes of expressing those readings, for instance, through presentations, video projects, creative projects, and essays. Though the course focuses on best practices in communication, it is firmly grounded in literature.
