A GALLERY OF STUDENT PROJECTS
Since Fall 2007, I've been inviting students in selected courses to complete an optional project in place of one final exam essay. The project may explore, examine, or illuminate one or more of the semester's texts using means other than the conventional literary essay.
Below are some of the best projects submitted to date.

Shannan Milligan and Michele Guido update a scene near the end of Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Created for English 324, The Nineteenth-Century British Novel, Fall 2007.
