ENGL 0204 - Creative Writing (T►)

3 Credit Hours

Introduction to Creative Writing is open to all students regardless of skill level or prior experience with creative writing. With this in mind, ENGL-0204 is an introductory course designed to explore the art and craft of writing poems and short stories. In this course, we will read and discuss classic and contemporary examples of poems and short stories with the goal of understanding and increasing our awareness of the aesthetic choices writers face when composing poems and short stories. In addition, we will examine the formal and technical aspects of poetry and short stories. To this end, this course will employ a workshop format (common to upper-division creative writing courses) that will require students to submit original pieces of creative writing to the class for peer review.
