ENGL 1720 - Introduction to Creative Writing

3 Credits

In this course we will explore creative writing through reading, analysis, and discussion, and by writing original creative work in multiple genres, including short fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. Students will develop an understanding of creative writing techniques and elements of literature through analysis of writing craft and literary technique and through practice. Students will analyze and respond critically to creative works in texts and work produced by peers through reading, discussion, group work, workshops, and in writing in order to practice an informed response to creative literature. 3C/3/0/0
