The course also includes a second library and database tutorial that follows on from the tutorial students attended in the fall term.
Learning objectives Students will engage with and learn how to read theoretical texts, placing literary texts in the context of literary theories, and gaining knowledge of how to compare different theoretical arguments in order to develop arguments of their own.
