The course builds on the skills of ENG 182 with a particular emphasis on short fiction. We will focus on published readings, exercises, and workshops of your writings. Students will produce two long stories, which will be read by the entire class and instructor. By the end of the semester, the student will accumulate a portfolio of work, a significant portion of which will be a sophisticated revision of one story. This course may be taken more than once if the topic is different. Prerequisites of ENG 1, 2, & 182 are required.

This poetry workshop will involve constructive critical analysis of student writing as well as discussion on poems by canonical, established and emerging poets. Knowledge of craft, established in ENG 182, will be strengthened; articulation of poetics, for one's own and others' work, will be stressed. Emphasizing revision, workshops will address choices in form, layout, lineation, musicality, syntax, diction, figurative language, and reading/performance. By semester's end, students will have created a portfolio of no less than six thoroughly developed, revised poems. This course may be taken more than once if the topic is different. Prerequisites of ENG 1, 2, & 182 are required.

Through a series of varied weekly playwriting exercises, this course aims to acquaint students with the range of dramaturgical demands placed on the working playwright. Each is gradually more complex in both length and dramatic situation, eventually leading to a multi-character piece. Each piece is given a roundtable reading in which every student participates, and several students will have the opportunity to have their work "performed" through moved readings. This course may be taken more than once if the topic is different. Prerequisites of ENG 1, 2, & 182 are required.
-
3.00 Credits
Some sections of this course will focus on television writing (in both sixty- and thirty-minute formats), and other sections will deal primarily with writing feature-length films. In either case, this course will help students understand the format, structure, and stylistic conventions of screenplay writing. They will learn how to develop characters and offer a rich visual landscape through dialogue. As with any advanced writing course, it will use a lecture/workshop format, and we will study current film and television writing as models. This course may be taken more than once if the topic is different. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.

3.00 Credits
A study of the major works of one of America's greatest living playwrights, three time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Albee. Since the production of The Zoo Story in 1959, Edward Albee has created excitement and controversy on stage. His audiences are captivated by his sophisticated characters, witty dialogue and comedy that borders on absurdity. Yet his plays challenge cultural icons such as romantic love and dignified dying. He has also probed the values of suburban living, the problems posed by the elderly, and the trials faced by both children and parents in the family structure, all done with a nimble sense of comedy. The course will consist of discussions of selected works, viewing them from both a dramatic and theatrical perspective. Readings will include The Zoo Story, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Delicate Balance, Three Tall Women, and The Goat. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.

This course will examine the structures of the English language from both descriptive and prescriptive points of view. We will discuss why certain structures have been deemed to be more correct than others that are also in common use, and how correctness differs from grammaticality. We will examine why the use of certain structures constitutes "good" or "bad" grammar, and look into how these standards have emerged and changed over time. Topics will include sentence structure and phrase structure rules, style, word classes, constituency, parts of speech, sentence relatedness, and usage. Special sections are offered for students in the Program for Academic Success (P sections). Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
