The English Department continually strives to find new ways of teaching and to improve the classroom experience for students. The latest development: a new suite of seminars capped at 25 students! Continuing the success of last year’s courses offered in this format, these smaller elective courses offer a more intimate classroom experience than the standard 38-student lectures.
