General description of "James Joyce" courses:In the past, students who signed up for 3 credit hours of "Independent /Directed Study: Readings in Joyce," committed themselves to do just that: to read Joyce's works and criticism independently from a regular class work. As they went along, they prepared a log on their readings--thoughts, observations, discoveries, questions, conclusions they reached, new things they learned--in other words, they logged on the results of all of the thinking that Joyce's texts prompted. Once a week, they would meet with me in my office and to discuss their work and to hand in their weekly portion of the log. The final papers or projects in such courses vary, depending on student's interests and scope of reading.
Joyce's primary works include Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Ulysses (the prerequisite for studying Ulysses is familiarity with Homer, especially The Odyssey). I also recommend selections from Joyce's Critical Writings. In addition, I make recommendations about the criticism by Joycean scholars (books and periodicals), depending on student's individual interests.
