Course Content
|
TLL 101 is part of the University Courses that offer a common curriculum for the undergraduate students in all departments at Ibn Haldun University, and is the first of the two-semester Modern Turkish Literature courses. In this course, we inspect historical and social transformations in the Ottoman Empire from the second half of the 19th century to the Republic as they are reflected in the thematic features and formalistic inquiries in Turkish literary texts, and analyze them in group discussions and written assignments. Students read main works of novel, poetry, play, short story, memoirs, letters, and articles produced at a time of modernization and transition to the nation state, and study how these are shaped by such issues as identity, gender, culture, and civilization, as well as different ideological perspectives, through close reading and interdisciplinary thinking practices. They are guided in writing simple, focused, coherent, and well-structured response papers based on the main questions and themes brought up in the lectures and the discussion sessions.

Attendance and Participation: Attendance is taken during discussion hours. Students who are absent from classes more than 20% without valid and documented excuses are deemed to have failed the course according to the Regulation of Undergraduate Education. All students are expected to come to classes having read the relevant text and prepared. Discussion hours require active participation of the student. During these hours, the student's participation in discussions, showing that he/she has read and thought about the weekly readings, is noted by the Teaching Fellows and it affects the student’s final grade calculation.
Response Papers: Students write a total of 4 RPs throughout the semester. Every 2 or 3 weeks, they write an approximately 1.5 pages long RP on the previous week’s readings and upload them to the Canvas system. The distinguishing feature of these writings is that they are a type of subjective, critical close reading in which the student examines the text from a certain angle or for a certain issue and shapes his/her writing around an argument s/he defends. In short, RPs are based on a personal and grounded interpretation of the literary text in question. They are not similar to each other, they are not based on common, general evaluations. Moreover, the papers are graded according to such criteria as text structure, content, and spelling.
Midterm Exam: An exam of approximately 2 hours is conducted on Friday in the middle of the semester. This exam may include questions of diagnosis, analysis, and/or evaluation on previously read works, topics explained in conferences, and issues discussed.
Final Exam: A Final Exam of approximately 3 hours is conducted at the end of the semester. This exam includes two Response Paper questions similar to the RPs written throughout the semester, and the answers are evaluated according to the same criteria used in RPs.
