ENL 321 COURSE SCHEDULE
Winter Semester 2007

Please note that readings for a survey course are extensive; we will not always have sufficient class time to discuss in depth all of the assigned readings. Nevertheless, you are responsible for all readings listed on the Course Schedule and quizzes, in-class writings, and other required work for the course will draw upon any and all readings—even those we do not cover in class.

All readings are from the Longman Anthology, Vol. 1B unless otherwise noted.
