The goals of PAAS 302 include training students to learn strategies for interpreting and analyzing a variety of cultural materials; identifying key discourses of globalization as they relate to the category of world literature, especially in the Asian context; applying theoretical materials to students’ own research with primary sources; and developing writing, critical thinking, discussion, presentation, and digital literacy skills.
Students were assessed on their ability to think critically about literature and new media forms, to write and edit according to the Wikipedia criteria, to collaborate effectively with classmates, and to present their work in a coherent way to the rest of the class.
