A general introduction to the study and appreciation of fiction.

This course, designed for non-English majors, is a general introduction to the study and appreciation of the short story and the novel. For this summer course, the majority of the readings will have some connection to travel or living abroad; focus on relevant themes, such as otherness, cultural dissonance, or expatriatism; or have some connection to the area through setting and or historical incidence. The novels will be set in Europe and/or written by European authors, and address themes and topics connected to those found in the short stories. Grades will be based on two analytical essays, two written exams, and other minor assignments (quizzes and informal in-class writing, possibly short presentations).

Class Rules & Attendance The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all classes and any required lectures and field trips. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, UIBK students who have to miss a UNO class due to UIBK examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused class days will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
