Modules that I'm interested in (level ranges from vaguely to YES I WANT TO DO THIS)

It's sad that EN3225 isn't being offered this semester. D:

• EN3223 - Nineteenth Century Literature & Culture (Although this involves Great Expectations and I frankly hate that book - I never finished it because it broke my 8 year old mind!)
• EN3224 - The Twentieth Century
• EN3227 - Romanticism

THE BEST THING IS THAT THERE ARE NO EXAMS (minus mid-term tests)!! As I've experience through this semester, I somehow completely fell apart during my exams when a timed response is required. (I did fine in semester one but that was probably a fluke. And yes, I'm still bitter that my wonderful Shakespeare essay @ntony and Cleop@tra's grades were pulled down by the exam grade. :\)

EN3224: I kind of swore of Gilbert Yeoh's classes but fuck, they're planning to do The Waste Land and Beckett and Stoppard!!! STOPPARD AND BECKETT. Oh and his module requires an examination. Which kind of puts me off. But The Waste Land and Beckett and Stoppard!!!! O:!!!!

EN3223: Aside from (gaah!) Great Expectations, we'd be most likely doing (I don't know how much the syllabus changes) Ruskin, Hardy (hurrah!), Shaw (YAY!), Tennyson, Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur (major hurrah) and apparently some Eliot. Eliot is always good. But hm. I don't know.

EN3227: The Romanticism modules mainly consists of a lot of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley (!!:D), Keats, plus Frankenstein, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights (the latter two make me er, well they give me mixed feelings). I'm looking at the very messy syllabus and I can spot out typical stuff like Ode to a Grecian Urn and Ozymandias (hahaha lulz)

I need to get my ass back in gear and back to scoring lots of As - because I know that I can do it and it makes me feel happy with myself - so any advice? Like, avoid XXXX at all costs because it seems lovely but it isn't. Any classes that I should consider (e.g. EN3266 Irish Poetry, EN3269 SEA Lit)?

 

So for USP mods... ART - UCV2207 The Politics of Heritage; SCI - ULS2204 Biodiversity and Conservation Biology

EDITED: Do you mean Tennyson *on* King Arthur? Cos Mallory wrote LMdA while he was in prison a few centuries earlier

Nah I doubt so. Nothing on Tennyson on King Arthur. O:

hi! sorry just a random passerby who got here because i googled for EN3223 syllabus, haha!
but i still can't seem to find it, may I know how do you know which books they'll be doing for the modules? thank you :D

[spiderpig.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, Google is scary at times.

I checked IVLE - they have the syllabus for the last time they taught the course, and I'm assuming that they're sticking to most of the books?

According to IVLE, the booklist is:
"Charles Dickens: Great Expectations Thomas Hardy: Jude the Obscure George Eliot: Middlemarch John Ruskin: Selected Prose George Bernard Shaw: Pygmalion Selections from the poetry of Tennyson and Hopkins. Poems (provisional list) Hopkins: God's Grandeur, The Windhover, Spring and Fall, The Wreck of the Deutschland, Pied Beauty, That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire, To R. B., Spelt from Sibyl's Leaves, I wake and feel the fell of dark, No worst, there is none. Tennyson: Flower in the crannied wall, Charge of the Light Brigade, Morte d'Arthur, Lady of Shallott, Mariana in the Moated Grange, The Lotos Eaters,, Ulysses, Break, Break, Break, Tithonus."
