Institution:

New College of Florida

Subject:

Writing

Description:

Exploring the Essay is an advanced writing course offered to any student who has taken any Writing Studies or WEC (writing enhanced course) at New College of Florida. This course examines both the tradition of and experimentation with the essay form. This course takes its momentum from the definition of essay which reads, "to prove, or try." With such an open-ended definition, we will examine the questions which traditional and contemporary writers seek to define, or test. Students will engage central questions to our course: What makes an essay? What is the role of the writer? What can an essay accomplish? Who reads or engages with an essay? By practicing and applying writing techniques across disciplines within Writing Studies, Exploring the Essay will provide students with opportunities to further develop skills to: -identify and anticipate the needs of multiple audiences-identify and apply creative non-fiction writing techniqu es-read essays across various disciplines, varying in complexity-develop a sustained writing practice throughout the semester-read and write rhetorically for multiple audiences and contexts
