Understanding Poetry & Drama

A First Year Beginner's Course, it introduces you to the fundamentals in Poetry and Drama through a varied selection. I handle the Drama portion of the course. The course is taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, role-plays, drama enactments with self-study through presentations and submissions. Continuous assessments form a major portion of the credits in this course. A student will not only learn about the evolution of English Drama through the ages, but will also learn to dissect a tragedy and comedy through prescribed texts. Students will also be introduced to the MLA style (citation/pagination/formatting) that the humanities utilize in their writings, while also learning the foundations of efficient academic writing in literature.
