Admission by consent of department. [Any UNO-Innsbruck 2013 participant who has completed ENGL 1158 Freshman Composition or its equivalent is admitted to this course.] Reading, conferences, and preparation of articles, reports, and special projects concerning print journalism under direction of a member of the journalism faculty.

This course will look at travel writing as a literary form, and emphasize the basic elements of textual analysis and interpretation through an anthology of travel writings and selected readings. Students will also have the opportunity to draft, write, and contribute their own travel essay. Thus, while the theme of the course deals with literature and travel, the critical skills of writing and rhetoric will also be important to our studies. Requirements include completion of reading journals and quizzes, an essay exam, and a final minimum five-page travel essay.

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.
