What, Why and How of Studying Literature
1.
An introduction to the discipline of Literature
As a part of student-reflection on learning, they are asked to add a page on their Digital Portfolio about:
- What is Literature?
- Why study Literature?
- How does it make any difference?
To help students in this process of reflective learning, some useful blogs, videos, web-articles are shared here. As it is necessary to give line of thought or some starting points, so that students can realize what is expected, here are some resources:
- What Literature is for?
Dilip Barad - an Online Session with Sem 4 Students on 'How to Write How Literature Shaped me?'
How to write 'Learning Outcome of Studying Literature'?: Dilip Barad
Literature in the Digital Era (Scott Hartley's The Techie and the Fuzzy: Why the Liberal Arts will rule to Digital Era)
- Is BA English in India just timepass? (Ketan Krishna)
- IIT dropout finds B.A. English syllabus equally uninteresting (Pagal Patrakar)
