Department of English Literary Criticism I Prof. Amie Parry

Students who are NOT in the prior range of distribution OR those applying for already-full class, please use your PIN Card. Lecture in English. Pre-requisite: (1) Department: Department of English only. Year:Third Year Fourth Year only. (2)Department:Department of EnglishMinor-EnglishDouble Major-English only. This course is recommended for advanced students who are interested in going on to study in literature, cultural studies or related fields at the graduate level. The course, along with LCII, introduces some of the basic texts of literary and cultural criticism. During the first semester we will focus on the question of the content of literature and its moral, social and political readings; the second semester will explore the question of form and the development of formalisms and structuralisms. In other words, the course is loosely divided thematically, in order to explore in depth the ideas that have developed out of the ongoing debate concerning content vs. form, or politics vs. art, which threads through the Western canon of literary criticism. This division is not an absolute one, and students are advised to take the course both semesters in order to get a more complete picture of the development of the field. This semester, we will also discuss the influence of Plato and Neo-Platonism on two contemporary visual texts, The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings, both of which explore complex questions of ethics, representation, epistemology and subjectivity. In the first semester, we trace philosophical and literary thinking about the meaning, value and social implications of cultural representation from classical times into the modern era. As we do so the initial focus on morality and authenticity will develop into discussions of rights and modernity. Figures and schools we will cover are likely to include Plato and Neo-Platonism; Locke and Wollstonecraft; the Romantics; Marx and Marxism; and the Victorian concept of culture at the peak of British imperialism.50

Course description



Finally, we will look at how these developments gave rise to different but overlapping fields of current literary theory. To this end, we will study Marxist, feminist, and postcolonial readings of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein (1818), a novel that responds to the ethical dilemmas of its time by narrating the pinnacle of Western society and its humanist thought partly through the eyes of the monster that it created. Requirements: Students will be expected to carefully read substantial weekly assignments in difficult Englishsometimes in small, anthology-size print. There will be quizzes at the beginning of each class period on that weeks readings, and a final essay. The quizzes will test for careful and thorough preparation of assigned materials. After the quizzes, class meetings will consist of brief lectures and discussions in groups: active and engaged participation is required.

Course description

Business English and Writing prepares students for the language of the workplace. In this course students will be given exposure to business communication in both its written and oral expressions. For the writing half of the class, students will become familiar with the standards acceptable to business correspondence as found in letters and faxes. We will first analyze models of business writing to gain a greater grasp of the vocabulary, phrasing, styling and organization that is particular to business writing. Students will then type their own letters and faxes modeled after those analyzed. These will be turned in so that they can be corrected and returned for revision. The types of business correspondence we will study include: Letters of inquiry Replies to inquiries Payment demands (Collection letters) Complaint letters Replies to complaints (Adjustment letters) Students are expected to maintain a portfolio of their written work to be turned in at the end of the semester for final review and grading. The final exam consists of a timed business letter similar to one that we have analyzed during class. For the oral half of the class, our attention is focused on how to52



interact with others in a working environment by way of the business meeting. Students can be expected to: Become familiar with business vocabulary Become aware of the principles of group interaction Learn useful discussion techniques Learn and use certain phrases to express certain functions in controlled conversations Participate in problem-solving discussions based on business situations Evaluate the effectiveness of their own and others group discussions

Department of English Thesis Writing and Methodology Prof. Amie Parry

Students who are NOT in the prior range of distribution OR those applying for already-full class, please use your PIN Card. Lecture in English. Pre-requisite: (1) Department: MA in English Literature only. (2)Department: Department of English only. Year: Fourth Year only. This course is recommended for all first year graduate students. The objective is to strengthen students skills in argumentation and research writing. We will cover two interrelated areas: (1) argumentation and interpretation (structure in academic writing, interpretation techniques, logical argumentation vs. fallacies, definition of terms, anticipating counterarguments); and (2) using secondary sources (avoiding plagiarism, locating sources, note-taking techniques, drafting, strategies for incorporating secondary sources to strengthen, not lose, your own argument, language and sentence structures for lead-ins and analyses of secondary sources, MLA style documentation, annotated bibliography, literature review). These are skills necessary for writing research papers at the graduate level and in writing the MA thesis and thesis proposal. The first assignments are textbook readings on structure and research methodology for academic essays in the humanities, and we will discuss these assignments by analyzing sample student papers. Each week students will be asked to write a short analysis of the structure and argumentation of a sample paper according to its use of one or more of the techniques introduced in the textbooks. Students will be assigned to go over the readings in class, leading a class discussion in which other students will actively participate. During the second part of the course, our meetings will be conducted as workshop seminars also led by students. Each week, students will lead discussions of one or two papers written by other students taking this course. Each student will eventually57

Course description



submit at least one paper for this purpose and lead at least one discussion of a classmates paper. The papers will be distributed one week ahead of time so that the other students can prepare their written feedback in advance. Although there will be designated discussion leaders, all students will be expected to prepare brief written feedback for each paper and participate in the discussions. These workshop discussions will be based on writing techniques covered in the first part of the semester. The final paper will be a revision of the workshop paper in response to the material covered in this course and feedback received during workshop. Critique will be rigorous but also very constructive (with emphasis on the latter), and students are expected to substantially rewrite their papers (not simply add a paragraph or two, but conduct further research, rethink and rewrite). In addition, each student will write an annotated bibliography to include five entries on articles or book chapters in their field of research. These secondary sources will be incorporated into students final, rewritten papers. The choice of paper for the workshop is up to students. The instructor recommends choosing a paper on a topic in which you have great interest and investment, and preferably one related to your thesis (if you know what that will be already). Keep in mind that without a great deal of interest and investment in the topic, it is almost impossible to write a good research paper. Students can use a paper from a previous class (approximately 10 pages long and incorporating some secondary sources). If you dont already have a paper that meets all these requirements, you should write one during the first few weeks of class.

Department of English Film History: Form and Style Prof. Li, Chen-Ya

Students who are NOT in the prior range of distribution OR those applying for already-full class, please use your PIN Card. Lecture in English. Pre-requisite: Department: MA in English Literature only. This course has a relatively narrow range of focus: well concern ourselves with the early period of cinematic history. By early I mean the silent period, namely the 33 years between 1895 and 1927. We will examine the development of cinematic technology in terms of its contribution to the shaping of cinematic forms and styles. Due to the very nature of early cinema, we will look at different kinds of film genres, although narrative cinema will remain our main interest. This course requires some prior knowledge of film history as well as some experiences with analyzing the visual texts. Students with no previous film courses should talk to me before taking this course.

Students who are NOT in the prior range of distribution OR those applying for already-full class, please use your PIN Card. Lecture in English. Pre-requisite: Department: MA in English Literature only. I like to cover the centuries and have you watch movies. As the angels are being blown backwards by the nightmare of history we might as well look at who is doing the blowing. So what kind of bellows does it take from the Renaissance to the present to keep that kind of negative wind farm working? A Macbeth helps, as does a Satan, an Earl of Rochester, a Johnathan Swift, Blake, Byron, Baudelaire, Bukowski. So we need to know what Harold Bloom knows. Pretty much I want to get some critical vocabulary and insight into you, Blooms mostly. How do Shakespeares characters come to inhabit every literary text and film from his time to our own. Detective work and crosswords.

Machines are also controlled by electronic signals. Therefore it is extremely important for students to know what is going on behind the switches, knobs, cables, detectors, etc. In this course we will teach students the basics of real-world electronics. In part 1, we begin with an extensive introduction to common electronic components and tools, and then we teach some important techniques of circuit construction. In part 2, we shall discuss common building blocks of electronic circuits. Starting from the most basic diodes and transistors, we show the construction of filters, amplifiers, and oscillators. Then we move to feedback control, and finally to digital circuits and digital/analog interface. These building blocks are so often used in laboratory electronics that by knowing them well, students can build up the confidence in handling laboratory electronics.

Department of Chemistry Structural Characterization of Nanomaterials Prof. Walter Vogel

This course is open to both Master and PhD students.PIN Card not required. Lecture in English.This course is open to the general publics. The lecture will be delivered in English. You will find it rewarding. Lecturer: Dr. W. Vogel (Germany) Functional nanomaterials find increasing attention in fundamental research and in all fields of commercial application, e.g., as catalysts, light emitting semiconducting quantum dots, quantum wires, quantum wells. Their functionality can only be understood from knowledge of their atomistic structure and morphology. The present lecture is aimed to teach methods of structural characterization, classified by the different types of nanomaterials. Only recently X-ray diffraction has been realized as suitable tool in nanoscience. X-rays can penetrate into the bulk and the surrounding ambient to allow for structural studies under in situ conditions. High resolution electron microscopy is still the most frequently used tool for exploring the nanomaterial structures. Both techniques compliment each other: HRTEM is a local probe, while XRD samples over a large volume therefore gives an integral probe of the structure. In addition, surface sensitive methods will be discussed: STM (scanning tunneling microscopy) and AFM (atomic force microscopy) as probe for planar nanostructures.

Department of Chemistry Seminar Prof. Walter Vogel

PIN Card not required. Lecture in English. Pre-requisite: (1) Department: PhD in Chemistry only. Year:First Year Second Year only. [Advance Registration] (2)Department: PhD in Chemistry only. General Schedule: According to the number of students (13), and the number of seminar sessions (18x2 hours), each PhD student should give at least two presentations, each supposed to be not longer then 20 min. The presentations are followed by a discussion session (about 25 min), to fill one class-hour (50 min). Therefore every Tuesday in a week we will have two students for a presentation, followed by the discussion session. Each student is free to select a topic, but most reasonable the topic should be related to her or his own thesis. The seminar is meant to give students more practice and self-confidence for scientific oral presentations, such as for international conference contributions, which are necessarily to be presented in English. In a first round, I suggest to have a mixed presentation/discussion forum, which would help students to remember, and improve their performance. This means you are not only allowed, but encouraged to put questions or comments during the course of the presentation. Scores will NOT be judged by the scientific quality of the topic presented, but on the how well organized the results are presented. These are: Motivation for the PhD (i.e. scientific relevance, and questions to be solved); Overview of the so far known literature; Instrumentation used to solve the problem in question; Results so far achieved; Conclusion and outlook. Students, which are not already in an advanced state of their PhD78

Course description



can put their emphasis on the first three topics. Discussion in form of question-and-answer is a skill students need to learn. Progress in science is largely based on this kind of exchange of knowledge. English speaking ability will NOT be a measure for the scores. You can only become better by practice!
