Facilitator Welcome Message to Students

Welcome to our class LIT 111X! I am delighted to have you in this class for this semester. This course is deliberately designed to conform to the Problem Based Learning (PBL) mode of delivery. PBL, a learning and teaching approach which Daystar University has recently adopted, provides learners with opportunities to identify solutions to ill-structured, real-world problems. We shall all be learning to learn, so let us commit to be available and to support one another in the learning process. I look forward to a meaningful interaction throughout the semester.

Course Purpose

The purpose of this course is to expose students to literature as a universal aspect of human artistic expression and as a window which helps students understand the world in its complexity. The course is designed to help students develop an understanding of the different genres of literature and to help them appreciate the skills developed and the opportunities made available by studying literature.
