Catalog Course Description
This course is a seminar-type exploration of creative writing techniques with emphasis on writing and criticism of student writing. Work from literary tradition will be studied as models and inspiration for the students' own literary efforts. Assignments will enable students to express and develop their creative skills.
Course Content:
Students will be able to;
read and identify the techniques, characteristics, and visions of fiction, poetry, and 'at the instructor's discretion' drama, gleaned from a study of past masters of the literary forms; and
critique, in a constructive manner, the work of others and, as a result, to be self-critical and also more discriminating as readers.
Students will be able to;
recognize the importance of writing and revising regularly;
demonstrate sensitivity to the nuances of language as seen in models taken from the literary heritage of the language;
demonstrate their collaborative skills and knowledge of group process and its benefits to the individual writer and to the group; and
recognize, explore, and employ the sources of metaphor and narrative.
Academic Integrity: Students will be able to
demonstrate their understanding of plagiarism as a major ethical concern; and identify the effects of plagiarism on the person and the community.
Planned Sequence of Topics and/or Learning Activities
The class will be conducted both as a writing workshop and as a discussion seminar on fictional, poetic, and dramatic techniques. In the workshop format, students study and discuss the literary heritage of the language and read their work, receiving reactions from fellow students and the instructor. The instructor will hold conferences to discuss individual work. The instructor will use illustrative models of fictional, poetic, and dramatic styles and techniques to instruct students on the possibilities of expression.
Assessment Methods for Course Learning Goals
a minimum of 5000 words of creative writing, revision, and literary analyses, resulting in a portfolio with the assigned number of pieces as designated in individual instructor course syllabus.;

their writing process as discussed in student-instructor conferences and classroom workshops;
