Moderation
Requirements:
1.
LIT 201 Narrative / Poetics / Representation (LIT 201 replaces the former LIT 103 moderation requirement.
Students who have already taken LIT 103 do not need to take LIT 201.)
2.
one LIT Sequence Course (U.S.
Literature I, II, III, or IV; Comparative Literature A I, II, or III; or
English Literature I, II, or III)
3.
any course from the Division of Languages
and Literature (e.g. Shakespeare)
4.
any course from the Division of
Languages and Literature (e.g. First Fiction Workshop)
5.
any course from the Division of
Languages and Literature (e.g. Spanish 110)
Only
one writing workshop and one foreign language course can be used to satisfy the
three elective moderation requirements.
In addition to the two short papers required of all moderating students,
Literature students submit a 10-12 page critical essay for moderation. The
critical essay should represent what the student feels to be his or her
strongest work to date and should ideally be taken from a sequence course.
Graduation
Requirements:
6.
a
second LIT Sequence Course - from the same sequence as the first, though it
need not be consecutive (US Lit III may be taken before US Lit I). This course may be taken as one of the three
electives for moderation, and if not, must
be taken prior to the start of the senior year.
7.
300-level LIT course (a Junior Seminar
may fulfill this requirement)
8.
Senior Project I & Senior
Colloquium
9.
Senior Project II & Senior
Colloquium
Pre-1800 and Post-1800 Courses: By the time of graduation, students must take at least one course which
focuses on literature written before 1800 and at least one course which focuses
on literature written after 1800. Courses that satisfy the pre-1800
requirements will be designated as such in the course list. Please note that this requirement is in addition
to the two sequence courses required above.
The three elective moderation requirements and the 300-level LIT course,
however, may be used to fulfill this requirement.
Literature Majors writing a
project are required to enroll in the year-long Senior Colloquium.
Post-Moderation
Recommendations
(not required but strongly encouraged):
1.
at least one course from the menu of offerings in World
Literature
2.
a Junior Seminar in Literature before embarking on the Senior
Project
