Literature Humanities II
In Literature Humanities, students make sense of literary texts together, on paper and in discussion. We read significant and challenging books that require collective exploration in a seminar setting to be best understood and appreciated, books that enable us to ask questions about literature and how it works, about our place in histories and traditions, about ourselves as beings and members of a society. We read with and against the grain of canon and tradition, and we pursue understanding together, in a shared classroom community, to learn not only how to be better readers and writers but also how to be in intellectual community with one another. Over the course of the semester, students become acquainted with specific works of literature; they become aware of those works’ relations to one another; and they become conversant in the questions those works ask and the questions they make it possible for us to ask.

ELEMENTARY ITALIAN II
Ciao!
I am so thrilled that you have chosen to study Italian at Barnard. This class marks the beginning of your journey through the wonderful language, history, and culture of Italy. I am hopeful that our time together will be fruitful, informative, and fun.
This document outlines the course objectives, requirements and policies for Elementary Italian 2. I have chosen to outline these policies in English so that they are as clear as possible, but
Italian is the official language of the course
, and classes will be conducted accordingly. Some English will be used at the beginning of the semester as we get to know each other, but it will be phased out over the course of our time together.
