Description:

This elective composition course provides an opportunity for students to create imaginative works for pleasure and publication within the supportive atmosphere of a writing workshop. The workshop may emphasize a single genre, such as poetry, fiction, or drama. Alternatively, the workshop may allow individual students to write original compositions in genres of their interest in response to classroom assignments. Students analyze significant contemporary literature, finding models of successful forms and effective technique. In addition, they critique the work of classmates. Literary theory and strategies for publication are discussed. Students are also encouraged to participate as editors of the College literary magazines and to submit their best work for publication. This three-credit-hour course may be taken once for college credit. A student may elect a maximum of six hours of creative writing courses for college credit (English 1111, English 2307, and English 2308). English 2307 may also be taken through Continuing Education as a non-credit course. Prerequisite: Writing level 7. (3:3-0)
