– This course aims at being an introduction to philosophical thinking in general rather than to provide a full survey of philosophical disciplines, their methods, doctrines and leading ideas. Instead of trying to give a comprehensive account of all possible forms philosophy has assumed throughout its long history we shall zero in on several characteristic examples illustrating how classical and modern thinkers formulate their questions and how they grapple with their issues in contrast to ordinary, religious and scientific consciousness. In addition, the course will provide a preliminary orientation about the notion of philosophical argument, its various forms and the ways argument should be analyzed.

– Deductive logic is concerned with valid reasoning in order to apply and utilize this knowledge correctly to new cases which we later come across in experience. Deductive argument is using representational devices, General Rules, Venn’s Diagram, different kinds of Mixed Syllogism and Poly- Syllogism can apply deductive logic as a guide to everyday thinking and everyday life. These rules are determined whether or not a particular deductive argument is valid. This course covers some basic rules, concepts and skills of logic. These skills have lifelong benefits for improving one’s writing, thinking, critical assessment of ideas and personal autonomy.

Course Description
This module deals with the study of poems and a play which are representative of 19th and 20th century poetry and drama.

This module also engages students to learn a farcical comedy of Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish playwright. Through Wilde’s popular Victorian drama, students observe Wilde’s trademarks ‘satiric epigrams, paradoxes and puns’. It is Wilde’s popular work that represents the finest literature in the English language written during the 19th century and questions Victorian social values and norms. Moreover, how nineteenth-century intellectuals think through the relationship between dramatic form and the social world, and how nineteenth-century drama mobilizes new images of gender and the family can be learned through Wilde’s famous drama.

Eng-3202 English Literature –10 (19th & 20th Century Poetry & Drama)
Course Description
This module deals with the study of poems and a play which are representative of 19th and 20th century poetry and drama. Studying selected English poems enables students to extend their knowledge of English poetry that they have already garnered in their academic pursuit. While pursuing the scholarly studies in English poetry, students simultaneously perceive the development of English poetry over the centuries. This module also engages students to learn a farcical comedy of Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish playwright. Through Wilde’s popular Victorian drama, students observe Wilde’s trademarks ‘satiric epigrams, paradoxes and puns’. It is Wilde’s popular work that represents the finest literature in the English language written during the 19th century and questions Victorian social values and norms. Moreover, how nineteenth-century intellectuals think through the relationship between dramatic form and the social world, and how nineteenth-century drama mobilizes new images of gender and the family can be learned through Wilde’s famous drama.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
recognize and explain the elements of poetry and drama through selected literary texts
Assessment
Class discussions during the lectures – 5%: Active engagement of students in class discussion is requested. Their active participation will be highly appreciated or graded.
Attendance – 5%: Students are to attend all lectures and their attendance will be one of the criteria in assessment.
Written Assignment – 5% of the grade is for written tasks assigned for the respective poems or acts in the play. Students are asked to work in groups so that they can learn from each other by sharing their own ideas in groups.
Presentation – 5%: 5% of the grade is allotted for students’ group presentation on the assigned tasks. In assessing group presentation, three-fold group assessment will be carried out. The teacher gives a grade to the group’s final product, group members give a grade to each other, and each group member gives a grade to him/herself, and justifies it. Every student’s grade is then a combination of: the teacher’s grade, average of peer grades, and self-assigned grades.
Exam – 80%: The grade is for students’ achievement in the final exam.

Eng 5101: English Literature – 15 (Short Stories, Novel, Poetry & Drama in the Themes of Feminism)
Course Description
This module deals with the study of the theme of feminism and the role of women in life and literature. It focuses on the social construction of gender: the gendered division of labour, production, and reproduction; intersections of gender, race, class, and ethnicity. Students will be able to analyse texts in relation to each other – across genres, countries and historical and social contexts. It allows students to track changes in thinking, beliefs and literary conventions which can aid in their understanding and analyses of texts. The repetition of ideas, themes, language and vocabulary across the genres can boost students’ confidence in building up to and dealing with longer and more complex texts, something which is very important for second language learners of literature. The order of study is designed to contribute to this gradual building of the necessary language, reading and critical thinking skills to deal with increasingly more complex texts.
A non-fiction text is introduced in this module. Students will read extracts from this text to develop their understanding of the women’s life at that time and how the works of the writers they are studying reflect and analyse the events of the time and their effects on different peoples around the world. The remaining texts are spread across the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries to broaden students’ experiences of literature and to allow them to analyse how literature, like politics, beliefs, attitudes etc., and often because of them, change over time.
Short Stories
Novel
Poems

Eng 5209: English Literature – 16 (Short Stories, Novel, Poetry & Drama in the themes of Colonialism)
Course Description
This module deals with the study of the theme of colonialism and the effects of civil war. Students will be able to analyse texts in relation to each other – across genres, countries and historical and social contexts. It allows students to track changes in thinking, beliefs and literary conventions which can aid in their understanding and analyses of texts. Also, the repetition of ideas, themes, language and vocabulary across the genres can boost students’ confidence in building up to and dealing with longer and more complex texts, something which is very important for second language learners of literature. The order of study is designed to contribute to this gradual building of the necessary language, reading and critical thinking skills to deal with increasingly more complex texts.
A non-fiction text is introduced in this module. Students will read extracts from this text to develop their understanding of the history of colonialism and post colonialism and how the works of the writers they are studying reflect and analyse the events of the time and their effects on different peoples around the world. The remaining texts are spread across the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries to broaden students’ experiences of literature and to allow them to analyse how literature, like politics, beliefs, attitudes etc., and often because of them, change over time.
