My modules next year are as follows:

Integrative Applied Study - haven't figured out what that entails yet.

The Victorians - Self-explanatory really, hence the Dickens list.

Contextual Study of Film - I have had some media experience, some of this is about tearing apart the filming process and other observations.

Integrative Literary Study - Again, I haven't the foggiest re the criteria - I presume it is the same as Introduction to Literature level 5.

Romanticism - Blake, Keats, Byron et al.

New Technology & Writing - Basically, understanding where the market is going re literature, writing for Kindle etc.

I think they are all project based and will be 5,000-7,000 words per project.

Book List:

Arthur Conan-Doyle: The Lost World; The Poison World
Charles Dickens: Bleak House; Hard Times; Great Expectations; Little Dorrit.
George Eliot: Middlemarch
H.G.Wells: The Time Machine
Hardy: Jude the Obscure
Tennyson: Charge of the Light Brigade; Maud
Evelyn Waugh: Brideshead Revisited

Brontes - Jane Eyre (read it last academic year); Wuthering Heights (read that the year before that)

Because we are studying The Victorians, it will be all about rank/social class, Marxism, Sexism etc - more of a history/anthropology lesson than purely English.
