ENGL 1B, Introduction to Literature: Home

The place to start is your course syllabus! This can always be found in the Canvas shell for your class. If you are having trouble finding it, ask your instructor.

If your section uses an OER textbook, there will either be a link to click on or a PDF will be provided to you. Otherwise, the library has many of the textbooks for 2-hour in-library checkout, and you can purchase copies at the Viking Bookstore. Some textbooks are available for rent or in e-book form through the Viking Bookstore.

Here are the Student Learning Outcomes for your course:

• Analyze a short work of literature- a poem or a short story- and compose an essay that analyzes the meaning and structure of the work.
• Incorporate direct quotations from specific works of literature to support points made about the works in their assigned essays.

The library has print books and electronic resources for you to use in any research assignments and to help you understand the course material.
