I have to teach ENGL 1301: Major Works of Eastern Literature at UCONN next semester?

09 September 2015 0 5K Report

This is the course in more detail:

Three credits. Prerequisite: ENGL 1010 or 1011 or 2011.

Important works of poetry, drama, and literary prose from the Middle East, South Asia, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. All works are read in translation. CA 4-INT.

While I would be happy to design the course, has anyone taught this course before? What books would you use? I couldn't locate syllabus from former professors/adjuncts who have taught this course before.

I have to plan and submit the course description by 9/28.

Thank you so much.
