READ: An Exceptionally Difficult Class

January 24, 2010 1:38 PM
All:

All registrants should know that ENGL 4800 will be an exceptionally difficult class. We will cover some of the toughest poetry written in English as well as a number of Classical antecedents that demand intense focus and benefit from prior exposure. The pace will be brisk, and the lectures and discussions will be pitched "to the top of the class." If you are carrying an "A" average in ENGL and humanities classes, and if you realize going in that you'll need to work hard from Day One, you should be fine. If you're carrying a "B" average in ENGL and humanities course, you should be prepared to work harder than you've previously worked in an ENGL class--and you should realize that your average may take a beating. If you're carrying a "C" average or lower in ENGL and humanities classes, I suggest strongly that you drop this class, ASAP.

Be smart and be sensible. Thanks for listening.
