World Literature (Honors) (Tom Rogers, Gr. 11-12, prerequisite: American and/or British Literature) |
†World Literature/Writing (Honors) is a self-study course, designed by the student and graded by the instructor, and thus has no set class period. See the course description for more information. This course is intended for advanced students in Composition and Literature who have completed at least one -- and preferably both -- upper-level TLC Literature Survey courses (i.e., American Literature and British Literature).
TLC classes are generally small and sometimes fill quickly. If a class is full, we will indicate it here. You may still register for a full class; if you do so, your student will be placed on a waiting list, and you will be notified (i) if an opening becomes available or (ii) if an additional section of that subject is offered. If an additional section of a class is offered, we will indicate it here and notify anyone on a waiting list for that class.
Bear in mind that many courses (e.g., Physics, Composition/Literature I and II, Physical Science, British and American Literature, U.S. Government, U.S. History, etc.) are normally offered every other year. Thus, if a class you need is not offered this fall, it will probably be offered the following year
