Official source · University of Toronto Scarborough

What is the relationship between “literature” and video games? This class will explore how we can read this relatively new – but increasingly dominant – media against and alongside more established literary forms like prose, poetry, and film, and will give students the opportunity to practice critical close reading skills. The course will focus on thematic and formal resonances between digital texts (“games”) and traditional texts (“literature”), and will also explore questions of direct adaptation (books that become games, games that become film, etc.).

This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.

This rests on 1 reported term. It is shown because hiding it would not make it less true, but one or two results are a datapoint, not a distribution — a single unusual cohort moves this number a long way.

What we don’t have yet

Assessment weightingNo syllabus we can lawfully use has been verified for this offering. Contribute yours and the breakdown appears here.
Per-term breakdownHeld back deliberately. Splitting 1 observations across terms would be false precision.
Instructor-level detailAverages are not split by instructor. At these sample sizes the difference between sections is noise, not signal.
Archive coveragePyko holds no past paper for this course. We do not host or distribute course files in any case; the archive is what lets these pages describe how a course is assessed.
