ENGL 120 Introduction to Creative Writing
offers instruction and practice in writing fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Students learn the main critical and structural approaches to these genres. Students produce a set amount of writing in each genre, and more in a chosen genre, and discuss student work in class. The work must be creative and also mechanically acceptable. Students learn about acceptable manuscript practices and market opportunities. This course is applicable toward all certificates and degrees; group requirements include communications (AAS and ALS only); areas of concentration include English (credit hours 3.0, lecture hours 3.0).
