Although our discussions will be framed by readings in pedagogical theory chosen by the students, our emphasis will be on the practical: how to develop effective syllabi; how to teach a variety of genres; how to lead a discussion; how to manage classrooms; how to foster diversity in the classroom; how to bounce back from the pedagogical missteps all of us invariably will make. Together, we will 1) analyze the comparative strengths of different pedagogical strategies in achieving a wide range of curricular goals in the literature classroom; 2) develop persuasive and powerful ways of describing precisely what we do as teachers of literary and cultural studies, as well as why and how we do it; 3) articulate flexible criteria for designing effective syllabi and assignments for different kinds of courses and texts; 4) practice teaching in front of one another; 5) and, by the end of the semester, generate a teaching portfolio suitable as a template for job market materials. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
