CRWR 140 - Introduction to Creative Nonfiction

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
Intensive reading of diverse works of contemporary nonfiction, teaching students how to read like writers and to articulate and employ common elements of the craft of creative nonfiction. Writing includes numerous exercises, which explore the literary techniques seen in published work and discussed in class, as well as complete short essays. The work written and discussed may be formally adventurous, but will always remain true to the principles of nonfiction. 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 RHET 207: Literary Journalism may be a more suitable class for them.
This course is appropriate for new students.
