Course Overview

Welcome to EL 150, "Introduction to Literary Study."

The course website is located at http://blogs.setonhill.edu/DennisJerz/EL150. I will update the online syllabus periodically, so the printout I gave you is only for your convenience today. The offical version of the syllabus is the online version (though I will notify you in advance of any significant changes).

Topics for today:

• Review syllabus.
  
• What is literary study?
  
• How does it differ from high school English?
  
• Discuss summary vs. analysis (see "Writing that Demonstrates Thinking Ability").
