Occasionally, books like Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, or The Lord of the Rings trilogy will cross both boundaries. Fantasy and Science fiction, however, provide much more than the simple diversion. According to author Lester del Rey, Science Fiction and Fantasy deal with ideas both possible and impossible, and they require us to step out of our present frame of reference and require us to entertain an alternate frame. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND GOALS: English 22 surveys important works of science fiction and fantasy and fulfills the lower division GE requirement in Arts and Letters (C2). Learning Objectives for students include 1) recognizing how significant works illuminate enduring human concerns; 2) responding to significant works by writing both research-based critical analyses and personal responses; 3) writing clearly and effectively in correct and concise prose; 4) examining significant works of the human intellect and imagination; 5) understanding the historical and cultural contexts in which specific texts were created; and 6) recognizing the accomplishments of and issues related to women and diverse cultures reflected in such texts. See Grading section below for the links between these goals and specific assignments. You will write at least 1500 words of prose for this course, not including numerous in-class quizzes and personal responses.

Late papers and make-up exams will normally be lowered one full grade unless you have made prior arrangements or provide evidence of an emergency. The Department of English reaffirms its commitment to the differential grading scale as defined in the ǶƵ Catalog ("The Grading System"). Grades issued must represent a full range of student performance: A= excellent; B= above average; C= average; D= below average; F= failure. Courses graded according to the A, B, C, No Credit system shall follow the same pattern, except that NC (No Credit) shall replace D or F. In such classes, NC shall also substitute for W (Withdrawal) because neither grade (NC or W) affects students' GPA. In English Department courses, instructors will comment on and grade the quality of student writing as well as the quality of the ideas being conveyed. All student writing should be distinguished by correct grammar and punctuation, appropriate diction and syntax, and well-organized paragraphs. Course grades will be weighted thusly: Classwork & Participation 10% Movie Comparison 15% Short Story 15% Essay 20% Midterm Examinations (2) 20% Final Examination 20% GE LEARNING OBJECTIVES ARE LINKED TO ASSIGNMENTS THUSLY: GE Learning Objective One: recognizing how significant works illuminate enduring human concernsweekly quizzes, classroom discussions, and lectures will focus on the universality of human concerns addressed by the fiction and plays selected for the class; GE Learning Objective Two: responding to significant works by writing both research-based critical analyses and personal responsesin-class and out of class writing will require personal responses; a short piece of fiction as well as a research-based essay is required of all students; GE Learning Objective Three: writing clearly and effectively in correct and concise proseall student writing will be assessed for correct grammar and punctuation, appropriate diction and syntax, and well-organized paragraphs; ADDITIONAL LEARNING OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: 1) examining significant works of the human intellect and imaginationthe texts selected for this class are all of enduring value in the history of literature, which will become evident during class discussions. 2) understanding the historical and cultural contexts in which specific texts were createdquestions on quizzes, the midterm, and the final examination will require responses that exhibit understanding of the historical and cultural contexts covered during class discussion 3) recognizing the accomplishments of and issues related to women and diverse cultures reflected in such textsas appropriate, we will discuss the accomplishments and issues related to women and diverse cultures and compare and contrast them among the various readings.
