A. Books

     What books are required reading for freshmen in their English courses? The list changes with the times. For example: Women writers were rarely included in the reading lists until 25 or 30 years ago. In more recent years, authors from Africa and Asia have been included. Have any such changes occurred on reading lists used by the English Department?

B. Tough Courses

     On every campus there are a few courses known to be demanding. At Emory University, the course is said to be "Introduction to Psychology I: Psychobiology and Cognition" taught by David A. Edwards. At Georgetown University, it is "Applied Marketing Management," nicknamed Homacide after the instructor, Kenneth E. Homa. At Abilene Christian University, the course is "Elementary Greek Reading I and II" taught by Jan Hailey.
     What are the tough courses on your campus, and why do students take them? What do the instructors of these courses have to say about them?
