ENGL 2026 - Creative Writing: Memoir & Nonfiction

Institution:

Century College - Minnesota

Subject:

Description:

This creative writing class intended for all students focuses on the writing and close reading of memoir and creative nonfiction. The evolving genre of nonfiction uses the literary techniques often found in fiction and poetry to tell true stories about real people and events. In addition to memoir, nonfiction texts may include nonfiction shorts, the personal essay, and other blended forms. Because creative writing involves both creativity and scholarship, coursework includes critical analysis of student and published writing; forming aesthetic judgments about creative nonfiction; writing and revising creative nonfiction; form and technique in creative nonfiction; and responding to the creative work of classmates in a writing community. This course does not fulfill the Literature requirement for the Associate of Arts degree at Century College. Prerequisite(s): Course placement into college-level English and Reading OR completion of ENGL 0950 with a grade of C or higher OR completion of RDNG 0940 with a grade of C or higher and qualifying English Placement Exam OR completion of RDNG 0950 with a grade of C or higher and ENGL 0090 with a grade of C or higher OR completion of ESOL 0051 with a grade of C or higher and ESOL 0052 with a grade of C or higher.
