Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon successful completion students should be able to:
Engage, through the text, unfamiliar and diverse cultures, experiences and points of view.
Articulate ways in which the text contributes to self-understanding.
Recognize the text as a product of a particular culture and historical moment and its relationship to different art forms.
Recognize the role of form and how it influences meaning by identifying the variety of stylistic choices that authors make within given forms.
Evaluate various interpretations of a play and their validity through reading, writing and speaking, and through individual and group responses and analyze the support/evidence for a particular interpretation.
Conduct research to find materials appropriate to use for literary analysis, using MLA conventions to document primary and secondary sources in written response to a literary text.
Integrative Learning
Students completing an associate degree at Portland Community College will be able to reflect on one’s work or competencies to make connections between course content and lived experience.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
