Professor Restores Whole-Book Reading For Students
|
5.9
Last fall, a Case Western Reserve University professor redesigned an American literature survey to require whole novels and introduced in-class timed "flash essays", finding students engaged and able to read despite concerns about declining attention and AI. The syllabus emphasized extended focus on single authors, diverse long works, and active classroom verification. The result suggests literature courses can restore sustained reading and emergent student voices.
