150L Freshman Writing: Literature Reading lists for each section vary, but typically include works by Homer (or another epic writer of similar importance to the English language tradition), Shakespeare, nineteenth-century British or American poets and novelists, and modern writers who recall, revise, and supplement concerns developed by their predecessors.   This course carries with it credit towards the English major and satisfies the Freshman Writing Requirement. Students who elect English 150, whether or not they choose to major in English, will find themselves well prepared for further work in this department. Students who take a different writing seminar in order to satisfy the College writing requirement will find that there are other means to enter the English major should they decide to do so. Students choosing English 150 will be placed in one of several sections being offered in either term. Instructors for 2006-07 are Professors Hock, Sherman, Stadler, Stuber, Tensuan, and Zwarg.
