Course Description

Honors Introduction to Poetry uses the pedagogical methods common to all Honors courses: interdisciplinary, writing-intensive, collaborative, and experiential instruction. As an honors course, there is a focus on analytical writing and an emphasis on a higher degree of student participation and leadership in class discussions and other interactive teaching/learning techniques that are generally unsuitable for larger undergraduate classes. This course examines poetry from a variety of angles, including terminology, form, performance, and composition. In addition to studying poets and movements, students also perform poetry, create poems, and write analytical essays that require research and high-level critical thinking.
