Notes:
ENG 111, 464, and 497 cover a number of different topics. At times, professors associated with African American literature chose to concentrate on black writers for those courses.

Univ. 112 was a first-year orientation course that the university no longer offers. I taught the course for years, and in around 2008, I was envisioning the course as an intro African American literature course. When Univ. 112 was no longer offered, I began teaching the course as ENG 111.
