In their written work and exams, students will demonstrate their knowledge of assigned texts by recalling significant details from the text, applying relevant historical contexts, and identifying the stylistics features that distinguish these works. 2. In their written work, exams, and class discussion, students will explicate and analyze the primary literature through relevant theoretical frameworks within African American and Caribbean literary history.3. In their formal writing, students will produce original essays that convey their interpretations of the primary literature using error-free, clear and effective, college-level prose.
