ENC3310 (GW) Writing Prose M W 1930 2045
ENC 3310 is truly an intermediate writing course. By intermediate, I mean that it serves as a pause, a time to examine the
writing you have already done, but also a time to anticipate and identify the writing you would like yet to do. In ENC
3310, we will examine three of the most widely-held writing rules in American institutions in the 21st century: that every
paper must have a thesis statement, every paper may only examine one topic, and that every paper must be free from
grammatical error. We will examine the difference between the effect your writing has had, and the affect you would like it
to have. There will be no rubrics used in this course.

13064 ENG4004 Research Methods: English M W 1630 1745

Have you ever been so excited about something you found in your research, but then so discouraged after having to write about it? So often in writing research papers there is much more emphasis on the “paper” than on the “research.” You will not be writing papers in this course. You will be conducting research. The purpose of this course is to sustain that “thrill of the chase” feeling throughout the semester by focusing on historical, archival documents never meant to be seen by your eyes, or anyone else’s. Students completing this course will learn archival methodologies and practice reading WWI love letters housed here at UNF and the letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson housed at the St. Augustine Historical Association. Students will learn digital mapping techniques and be introduced to digitization of archival records. There will be no rubrics used in this course.

How does a literary historian end up thinking in terms of z-scores, principal component analysis, and clustering coefficients? The essays in Distant Reading led to a new and often contested paradigm of literary analysis. In presenting them here Franco Moretti reconstructs his intellectual traject...
