arrangement information, using Quest, by Friday, January 24, 2014. (Students taking one or more on-

campus classes in addition to an online class within the same term do not need to provide exam centre

Examination schedule details will be available on Quest approximately four weeks prior to the exam date.

For instructions on how to find exam information, go to the Quest Help page.

Course Description, Objectives and Key Terms

Course Description

English 102 provides an introduction to the university-level study of four major forms of English literature.

English 102A examines plays and short stories; English 102B examines poetry and novels.

For this course, I have arranged the poems according to type and theme rather than chronological sequence.

An important aspect of our study will be to examine how a poem's form and language support its meaning.

Our emphasis on novels will be on such basic features as character, plot development, and narration. We will

also apply certain basic critical approaches to the novels, such as reader response, structuralism, cultural

criticism and feminism.

Objectives

English 102B has several related objectives:

1. To introduce you to some basic terms and concepts that will help you as you continue your studies in English.

2. To give you practice and training in reading and interpreting individual pieces of literature with greater insight and in making comparisons among them.

3. To help you write more effectively.

4. To help you to articulate your responses and interact with other students.

5. To increase your enjoyment of reading (I hope!).

Key Terms

Types of Poetry: e.g., ballad, sonnet, visual poetry, sound poetry

Figurative Language: figures of speech (simile, metaphor, catachresis, synaesthesia, metonymy,

synecdoche, personification); symbolism (archetypal, conventional, contextual)

Prosody: types of rhyme (end, internal, perfect, imperfect, masculine, feminine); stanza forms (especially

couplet, tercet, quatrain, etc.); conventional verse forms (especially ballad, Italian and English sonnets);

basic rhythmic patterns (iamibic, anapestic, trochaic, dactylic, spondeic); rhythmic variations (caesura,

enjambment); and metre (especially dimeter, trimeter, tetrameter, pentameter, hexameter)

Sound Patterns and Devices: alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia



Persona, Voice, Diction: creating a persona; basic levels of language, especially monosyllabic, polysyllabic,

archaic, colloquial, specialized, figurative (poetic), dialect

Narrative Elements: plot; characters; setting (time and place); point of view (especially first person, but

some reference to third person); narrator (reliable, unreliable, homodiegetic, heterodiegetic); narrative

distance; time and order (fabula, sjuzet, analepsis, prolepsis, paralipsis, achrony); direct and indirect

speech (monologue, dialogue, interior monologue, stream of consciousness)

Reader-Response Terminology: readerly, writerly, intertextuality

This online course was developed by Paul Kreller, with instructional design and multimedia development

support provided by the Centre for Extended Learning.



About the Course Author/Instructor

Course Author — Paul Kreller

My name is Paul Kreller. I live in Elmira, which is about

10 miles north of Waterloo. I received by B.A. from

what is now Wilfrid Laurier University, and my

teaching diploma from the University of Western

Ontario. From 1974 to 1986 I taught English and Latin

in Bermuda. After I returned, I received my M.A. and

Ph.D. in English at the University of Waterloo. My main

interests are 19th century British literature and

rhetoric.

Since 1995 I have taught several English courses on

campus at the University of Waterloo, including first-

year genre courses (102A and B), second-year survey

courses (200A and B), second-year courses in criticism

(251A and B), and fourth-year literature courses (460A,

B, and C). For several years I have marked the following English courses for Online Learning: 251A and B. I

also give the lectures for the Reader Response section in English 251B-DE.

Course Instructor — Lacey Beer

Welcome everyone! My name is Lacey Beer and I have

completed my Honours Bachelor of Arts in English and

Film with minors in French and music at Wilfrid Laurier

University in 2010 and my Master’s in English Language

and Literature at the University of Waterloo in 2011.

Currently, I am a third year "PhD candidate" working

towards the first chapters of my dissertation. I

specialize in Canadian Literature (primary) and

Composition and Pedagogy (secondary). I am also

interested in issues related to ESL and translingualism

and my dissertation will focus on what George Elliott

Clarke calls "‘criminal’ justice literature."

In my “spare time,” I enjoy composing music and

creative writing, specifically short stories and novels. I

have my A.R.C.T. in piano and my Gr. 10 (RCM) violin. I also love travelling and volunteering!



I’ve had considerable experience teaching online, specifically as a Teaching Assistant for ENGL 210F: The

Genres of Business Communication for three years now! I am excited to have this opportunity to teach such

diverse works of English literature (well, novels and poetry!) and engage in class discussions in the online

“Coffee Shop/Ask the Instructor.” My hopes are that each and every one of you will gain new insights into,

new understandings of, and new knowledge on the course texts, some of which you may have already

encountered in academia.

I wish you all every success!

MISSED ASSIGNMENTS/TESTS/QUIZZES

Contact the instructor as soon as you realize there will be a problem, and preferably within 48 hours, but no

Further information regarding Management of Requests for Accommodation Due to Illness can be found on

the Accommodation due to illness page.

Academic Integrity

In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of Waterloo community are



expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. If you have not already completed the online tutorial regarding academic integrity you should do so as soon as possible. Undergraduate students should see the Academic Integrity Tutorial and graduate students should

see the Graduate Students and Academic Integrity website.

Proper citations are part of academic integrity. Citations in CEL course materials usually follow CEL style,

which is based on APA style. Your course may follow a different style. If you are uncertain which style to use

for an assignment, please confirm with your instructor or TA.

For further information on academic integrity, please visit the Office of Academic Integrity.

Discipline

A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity to avoid committing an academic

offence, and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is unsure whether an action

constitutes an offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or

about “rules” for group work/collaboration, should seek guidance from the course instructor, academic

advisor, or the undergraduate Associate Dean. For information on categories of offences and types of

penalties, students should refer to Policy 71 - Student Discipline. For typical penalties, check Guidelines for

the Assessment of Penalties.

Appeals

A decision made or penalty imposed under Policy 70 - Student Petitions and Grievances, (other than a

petition) or Policy 71 - Student Discipline, may be appealed if there is a ground. A student who believes

he/she has a ground for an appeal should refer to Policy 72 - Student Appeals.

Grievance

A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been unfair or

unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70 - Student Petitions and

Grievances, Section 4. When in doubt please be certain to contact the department’s administrative assistant

who will provide further assistance.

Final Grades

In accordance with Policy 19 - Access To and Release of Student Information, the Centre for Extended

Learning does not release final examination grades or final course grades to students. Students must go

to Quest to see all final grades. Any grades posted in Waterloo LEARN are unofficial.
