Courses

To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any other exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.
      Henry David Thoreau, Walden

My English courses are ultimately courses in reading and writing. The goal of each course is for students to become better readers--more responsive and insightful--and better writers--richer and more precise.
