Cíle předmětu

This course introduces students to the basic skills of critical reading, thinking and writing. At the end of the course, students will be able to pose effective questions for subsequent analysis, examine crucial concepts in writings from varied disciplines, make connections between ideas, and synthesize them. They will learn how to turn their interpretation into a complex argument and support it with relevant textual evidence. The Critical Reading course is not an overview course, i.e. it does not necessarily follow a chronological development of British literature and history, although there is an overlap with both the present course and History, Literature and Culture of the USA scheduled for the next semester. It focuses on practical skills and tools used for reading, critical thinking, and analysis. Whereas History, Literature and Culture of Great Britain aims at BOTH literary history, reading strategies, and analysis, Critical Reading exercises reading strategies and analytical skills PRIMARILY. It is a support course that branches out into all module courses on both Bachelor and Master's levels.
