Yeah, 9-12pg. It was probably good for me to write one, because I still suck at writing proposals (before I've written the paper, anyway).
Oh, that reminds me, I should totally ask for my Joyce paper back. (I was supposed to get it in May.
I hate it when that happens! I have so many papers from the end of last semester that I've never gotten feedback on....
Legendary for my nerdiness, perhaps...
You're in grad school. What other kinds of legends are there?
But usually the point isn't that they learn new information, it's that they apply concepts and analysis techniques to texts, you know?
True (although modelling those techniques yourself can be crazy effective). But if you do break into lecture and you feel guilty, just remember that somebody in your class is thinking, "yes, I don't have to listen to my classmates anymore! I get to listen to someone who knows what she's talking about!"
(BTW, I can't remember an English class where the teacher talked more per period than the students since...maybe sophomore year of high school? Perhaps middle school?)
(My high school English teacher steady lectured -- on her analyses of the texts -- and it was amazing. [There are few things about my high school I can legitimately call amazing.])
