CRWR 120 - Introduction to Fiction Writing

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
Intensive reading of diverse works of contemporary fiction, teaching students how to read like writers and to articulate and employ common elements of fiction craft. Writing includes numerous exercises, which explore the fictional techniques seen in published stories and discussed in class, as well as complete short stories. Small group workshops, led by TAs and prioritizing peer feedback, meet regularly to discuss student work.
Prerequisites & Notes: Primarily for first years. Upper division students may be considered during add/drop, though CRWR 195 may be a more suitable introductory-level fiction class for them.
This course is appropriate for new students.
