Course Overview	The American Short Story This course will be a survey of some of the best-known short stories, providing insight into many aspects of American culture in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. There will be no textbook. Instead, the teacher will provide the students with links to stories available online, along with background material such as the authors' biographies and essays about the stories, or in some cases print out stories to share with the class. After the first few stories, the students will be assigned in groups to research and provide a presentation to the class about the author and other background. The teacher will conduct surveys to determine which authors or genres the students are most interested in, involving the students in the direction of the course. Grading will be based on presentations, a final essay, a midterm test, and a final exam, as well as general participation.
