Students will become knowledgeable about not only the author Jane Austen and three of her important works, but they will also gain a greater understanding of her social commentary and the changes she believed were necessary in the lives of women and society as a whole. The course is perfect for those new to Austen's writing as well as for those who want to reread her novels with a fresh eye.

As graduate-level work, Jane Austen's works were a focus for me at The University of Oxford. These books remain at the top of my all-time favorites list, and I've been known to hide in my bedroom closet with my well-worn copy of 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 and a chocolate bar . . . just one more chapter!  As an author myself, I particularly enjoy studying the works and perspectives of other female authors. 

提供的家庭作業
There will be some in-class reading, but students will need to be able to read each novel in its allotted time of three weeks. Listening to an audiobook version is absolutely acceptable! The projects I provide are optional, so it's up to the student or to those in charge of a student's education to decide whether or not to engage in activities such as letter writing, music exploration, and art.

提供的評估
I am happy to provide letter grades when requested. Grades will be a combination of class participation, essays, and comments in the classroom for a general final grade. All essays are read and returned to learners with notes, helpful suggestions, and plenty of encouragement. 
提供的成績

I will be providing plenty of links to primary source material, or what I like to call fodder for lots and lots of student-led rabbit trails.
