This module is part of the The Hobbit in Context cluster.

Combining lectures and roundtables from Signum’s graduate faculty with interactive weekly tutorials, this five-week module is designed for students new to scholarly writing in the humanities, those returning to academic pursuits after time in other fields, or those who want to challenge themselves to produce a extended piece of writing.
This module is open to all students who have writing and grammatical fluency in English, and who understand how to read a literary text analytically. The module may be repeated as many times as desired. Students participate in weekly discussions and complete a final written project.

Note: This module draws extensively upon lectures originally recorded for The Story of The Hobbit. Students in the MA program who have taken (or plan to take) that course may find significant overlap in the core materials.

Format: 4 weeks discussion; 1 week assessment (10 hours video; 8 hours discussion
