Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

ENG 20830 Creative Writing I: Craft & Composition at UCD; This is an introductory course in creative writing, so students are not required to have any previous experience in the field. However, if a student has some experience of writing creatively, then they stand to benefit more from the course, at least in the opening sessions. Among the topics considered are the development of a fictional voice, dialogue, character construction and some of the difficulties encountered by writers in the opening section of a piece of fiction. These topics are approached through a series of class exercises followed by group discussion. In this context students get an opportunity to discuss authors whose work they admire. A short assignment, usually a creative response and based on class work, is given every week.
