CUK, Dept. of English Language & Culture Courses (2006-2012)

From the beginning Spring semester of 2006 until the end of Fall semester 2013, I worked as a professor in the Dept. of English Language & Culture at The Catholic University of Korea. For your convenience I have indexed the courses by date, and, below that list, by course title.

Course Index By Course Title/Track:

This listing just includes all course titles above, organized by subject. Specific class pages are not linked, since I taught multiple sections of the majority of these classes. For course titles marked with an asterisk (*) I created and designed the course as a pilot class, or was the first to teach it as a new course. Of these, many of the new courses became regularly offered course options within the Dept. of English Language & Culture (or, in one case, the Dept. of English Literature).

For many of these classes, I also created and managed online discussion boards or class blogs, some of which are preserved, as well as online signup pages, self- and peer-evaluation forms at Google Docs, and more. Links for forums and classblogs are provided in the sidebar, which makes it overwhelming to sample but which was the best way to organize the links for students during the semester.

If you would like to see the actual course pages, those are listed in the full Course Index by Date below.
