Your projects represent a considerable amount of time and effort, and collaborative efforts. To what extent were they beneficial to your own growth? Is the effort commensurate with the benefits-or should time be better spent in other ways? What might those other ways be? Is writing a long paper (10-20 pages) for one potential reader a relic of the 20th century?

In the beginning we wondered: “Students and professors may and likely do have differing opinions on the content and form of a course on literature.  What are your expectations? What are you hoping to learn?” Re-read your original posts and those of your classmates, then briefly describe what you have LEARNED this semester. I am also eager to hear what you believe can  or ought a class in literature TEACH.

One member of each group should describe in 100 words or less the project, provide a link or access to the project, identify all contributors and if possible indicate the major contributions of each to the final project.

Levin’s visit to Anna has a striking effect on him, on Anna and on Kitty. You may choose to reflect on her power to impress people. Or you might examine her portrait. Finally, Tolstoi uses as he had in War in Peace his last pages to tell the reader what he feels he has not adequately conveyed in his novel. Is his message, much like Dostoevsky’s, too important to be left to fiction?
