Introductory Notes
1. Although the Department of English provides advisors to help students to choose their programs, to arrange their courses and to conform with the University, Faculty, and departmental regulations, students are urged to study the Calendar very carefully because they are themselves responsible for failure to abide by these regulations.
16.45
2. W.K. Thomas's Correct Form in Essay Writing is the official style sheet for all undergraduate English courses.
3. The "norma? number of lectures per week in each course is 3; however, instructors determine how often their particular class wil meet.
4. In all English courses, emphasis will be placed on student essays written in connection with the reading.
R’ courses are administered by Renison College.
GROUP ONE
Courses in this group count towards a degree as electives in any program in the University. Normally, none of them qualifies as a major credit for a General or Honours program in English (see Note 1). These courses are primarity designed to make students aware of the different functions of language in various contexts and to assist them to improve their writing.
