Course Description
This course explores currently important works in American literature. We will be reading fiction generally agreed upon as "best" from the last few years. Students can expect to leave class with a better understanding of the breadth of what counts as "literature" in America in 2014

For this class, you are required to have a more modern web browser than Internet Explorer 8, the browser you are using. IE8 is 5 years out of date with regards to web standards, riddled with security errors, and no longer supported or maintained by Microsoft.
To view course content, you are required to install a more modern browser. I recommend downloading and installing the newest version of Mozilla Firefox. It is easy to install, compatible with a broad range of websites, and runs on many old computers.
When you have installed the required browser for this course, please return here to read the syllabus.
Here are instructions for installing Firefox on Windows.
Basic information literacy as a prerequisite for this course. If you are having trouble installing a working browser, contact ASU support or consider dropping this course.
