All Spring CoursesThis is a TBA course. TBA means "time to be arranged" (to accommodate as many students as we can). We hold an organizational meeting for all TBA courses at the beginning of each semester. The time and place of the meeting are posted at http://russian.cornell.edu/russian.web/schedule/ a couple of weeks before semester starts.

Two very different sections of this course may be taught in a given year
if there is sufficient interest, and the department has the necessary resources.
The purpose of the course in both sections is to learn how to read a lot
and to talk about what you've read.
In the section for non-native speakers of Russian, the weekly reading assignments include 30 to 40 pages of unabridged text with no linguistic explanations or glossaries. The section for students from Russian families has much larger assignments. In both sections, all assignments are from authentic Russian prose (fiction and non-fiction). All discussion in class is in Russian. Expect your homework to take up to six hours each week. Note that this is not a literature course. (See courses in the RUSSL series if you are interested in literary criticism, literary analysis, etc.) The course meets twice a week. Prerequisites: permission of the instructor. 4 credit hours/units. |
