Issues in Literary Criticism

[Xinfu]

For a course, if both names are correct, do you agree with my explanations?

-John is a French major, studying Issues in Literary Criticism this term.(in=inside)
-John is a French major, studying Issues on Literary Criticism this term.(on=about)

Almost no difference in meaning.

Issues on literary criticism seems wrong to me.

These words should not be capitalized unless it is the title of a course, but in this case you wouldn't be studying but taking.

Thank you. How about this:

-John is a French major, taking Special Topic in Literary Criticism this term.
-John is a French major, taking Special Topic on Literary Criticism this term.

If both correct, what's the difference? In=inside/on=about?
