TIPS for your proposal:

  • Review the following document carefully: Course Details
    • Review the general course descriptions for these courses to ensure that your proposed course description is fully in-line with the intention of the course.
    • Many of these courses were offered in the previous year, and included in the document above are the number of proposals received for each course. Use this as a reference to be more strategic on your submission.
  • Offer flexibility in course preferences and your willingness to co-teach a class. This will make it easier to fit you into the overall plan. 
  • Keep your proposed course content as open and inviting as possible to attract a wide array of students, including non-Literature students. Don't get too specialized with the proposed content!
