The Primary Texts Program has sent at least one student to the Oxford Study Abroad (OSAP) summer program for the past five years. OSAP tutorials featuring primary texts transfer as six Primary Texts and general K-State credit!
Four weeks in length, it consists of one core text seminar and one Oxford tutorial. While in residence, students are hosted by New College (founded in 1379). New College is one of the 38 constituent colleges within Oxford University and recognizes as a filming location for various television programs and movies, including the Harry Potter films.
"I studied at New College through a partnership between the ACTC and the Oxford Study Abroad Programme (OSAP). The program offered one month of study at New College, one of Oxford's most well-known constituent colleges. My tutor was a member of the Oxford History Faculty." --Becca Kaye, K-State Student
K-State student William Naeger attended the ACTC OSAP Summer Session at Oxford in the summer of 2017. Naeger is majoring in Political Science, Humanities and International Studies and minoring in French and American Ethnic Studies.
It was an extremely rewarding experience. The tutorial style of teaching was a great chance to change my approach towards learning and developing my thoughts. Oxford itself constantly offered plenty to do both in academics and fun activities. There was always something like studies, events, or travel, that kept me busy. -Will
The tutorials usually lasted about an hour, but there were a couple times the discussion between a tutor and I kept going past the regular time. Meeting one-on-one allowed the conversation to follow my own knowledge and interests freely rather than being confined by what might be on a syllabus or schedule. I tried to come into the tutorials knowing a few things I wanted to ask or clarify, but besides that just be open to whatever might come up in the conversation. -Will
Classes, as we know them in America, are replaced by tutorials. The students meet with their tutors once a week. Usually these are one-on-one sessions; however sometimes there will be two or three students to a tutor. Sessions are typically 1-1.5 hours. There are also many lectures given (public and not) which students may be required or encouraged to attend. -Becca
My tutors were selected based on the subject of the tutorial. My tutorials covered political and legal subjects, so one of my tutors was a political scientist while the other tutor was focused on international law. - Will
I met with my tutor at his awesome home study. It was like being on the set of an old film. There were old ornate rugs, stuffed bookcases, a chaise, squishy wing-backed chairs, a classic fireplace, old photographs and accolades, and a cat. Your first meeting is just to go over/establish a focus. Afterwards, your tutor e-mails you a reading list, which you are to go through before your next meeting.
Given the pace of our meetings, I didn't take notes. I tried taking notes at first, but I observed that my tutor seemed to prefer engaged and active listening. After our meetings, I would go to a bench or the Bodleian Library and write down what we talked about.
Meeting with a tutor either one-on-one or with another person adds an extra (extremely valuable) element to the learning process, because it demands so much more of you, not only as a student (having to play a much more active role in your education) but as an individual as well. You have to follow through deeply with a topic. -Becca
My reading lists were between 15 and 70 books. Of course, there's no expectation that you'll have read the entire list by the next week, but skimming is definitely a necessary skill. The reading is very interdisciplinary and very international.
The first essay I wrote was from a prompt provided by my tutor. The next two were from prompts we discussed in our meetings, and the last essay was a prompt I made. There is no required length or style of writing that applies to all tutorials. My essays, on average, were 4-5 pages (everything is printed on A4, though, which fits more on a page). At our subsequent meeting, we would discuss my essay further and expand on the topic. -Becca
I got to know a group of students that were both at Oxford long-term and students in similar study abroad programs to my own. These students and I were able to explore Oxford and the many events or activities that were always happening around Oxford together. OSAP also organized trips to Bath, London, and Windsor Castle. These trips were great chances to explore parts of England beyond Oxford without having to go alone or go try to form independent plans between different students. -Will
The period for study, a golden one in English literary achievement, was one in which major poets and dramatists were involved in or preoccupied with political events. The Further Subject invites candidates to explore the relationship between literary developments and political ones. The following authors have been selected for study: More, Skelton, Wyatt, Surrey, Sidney, Spenser, Marlowe, Shakespeare (for whom the set texts are taken from his English and Roman history plays), Bacon, Jonson, Middleton, Massinger, Milton, Marvell. Candidates are encouraged to consider the lives and influences, as well as the writings, of these men, and to relate the writings to their historical contexts. They are also encouraged to read more widely in the literature of the period and to consider the historical changes which the literature of the period illuminates or reflects. Among the themes of the subject are: the Court; humanism; nobility, honour and service; biography; literature and the nation; the relationship between Christian and classical values; early Stuart monarchy and the masque; the development of the history play; the relationship of the drama to politics and to Puritanism; the responses of writers to the Puritan Revolution.
