Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

The main objectives of this component of Persian 4 will be to
address the works of several classical-period writers, to consider the
grammar and styles of employed they employed, and to relate their careers
and the style and substance of their literary contributions to political,
social and religious trends and events in contemporary society. In the
process we will also discuss other approaches to this material utilised to
date. Thereby the course aims also to develop students analytical skills and to improve their interactive capacities and their ability to do secondary-source research and to present oral and written work clearly and effectively.
