Ten Prize Freshmen Brave Experimental English Class
Ten KU freshmen are participating in an experimental English class which would give most other freshmen a good scare.
These ten students are in a seminar-like course, reading and researching literature, writing four or five major research papers during the semester, and, in general, conducting themselves in much the way a graduate seminar would operate.
But, these are extraordinary freshmen. They were hand picked from the KU Honors Program freshmen, who were themselves hand picked from the general student body.
"The purpose is to see to what extent a graduate seminar technique can be applied to a small class of honors freshmen, using the concept of research in reading, criticism and scholarship," Harold Orel, professor of English and teacher of the class said.
Basically, the course work is on the development of realism and naturalism in the 19th and 20th centuries. They are studying Balzae, Flaubert, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, English writers George Moore, James Joyce and Emile Zola, American writers Frank Norris, Theodore Dreiser and John Dos Passos.
The students meet once a week for a two and one-half hour class session, instead of the thrice weekly one-hour sessions that regular English students attend. The "seminar" group, however, receives the standard three hours of academic credit.
“This course is a lot more thought provoking than any English course I have had before. The value of the course depends on each student's own initiative," James M. Cole, Hutchinson, a member of the class said.
Hawaii University Offers Scholarships
