Welcome to Ron's Moodle! I created this site because, after nearly 15 years, my old free wordpress.com site is nearly full and I need somewhere to park my class info, share media with you (students), organize assignments, etc. etc. So please create an account and login (upper righthand corner) and check out our course(s).
Any questions, just email me: ronentity [at] gmail [dot] com

This course covers British literature of the Restoration to Neoclassical periods (roughly 1600-1798), but begins with Shakespeare's tragedy "Othello." The main goal of the course is to introduce students to the literature of the period, help them become familiar with it, and bolster their ability to analyze and think critically about literary works.
This course offers and introduction to the genre of science fiction focused mainly on United States and China, focusing primarily on the major themes and concerns it frequently deals with (dystopia, aliens, time travel, space exploration, etc).
| This course is designed as an introduction to psychoanalytic theory through the study of literature, film, and other cultural activities. The approach we’ll follow is to read and discuss the major essays of Freud (and some Lacan, Zizek, et al) alongside selected works of short fiction and film. The course goals are to a) familiarize students with the concepts and analytic vocabulary of psychoanalysis, b) enable their further research into literature/the arts using psychoanalytic theory, c) to become more familiar with Freud’s work as the context for much later theory. -Research paper/thesis chapter: 50% -Research paper outline & bibliography: 20% -Participation/discussion: 30% | ||||
