WRT 536 Reading for Writers I (Primary Genre)<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This guided, self-designed course provides the writer with a foundation of readings in the genre.\u00a0 Under the guidance of a professional writer in the genre, each student will develop a substantial reading list of\u00a0 \u201cclassics\u201d of the particular writing field as well as the work of important contemporary practitioners. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 537 Reading for Writers II (Second Genre)<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The rationale for this course is the same as that for Reading for Writers I. However, depending upon the student\u2019s individual background and choices of genres, the second genre may be less familiar to the student and, therefore, may require extra attention.\u00a0 Under the guidance of a professional writer in the genre, each student will develop a substantial reading list of books the student should be familiar with.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 539 Genre History, Criticism and Theory<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4 SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Under guidance of a professional writer or scholar in the writing field, the student will design a specific curriculum for achieving a working awareness of the history, range of criticism, and critical theory associated with the writing genre. Reading will certainly be a part of this, but papers or interviews, attendance at lectures, formal courses or other modalities may also be a part of this course.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 542 Writing in the Primary Genre I<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4 SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

With the guidance of a faculty mentor, the student will research, develop, and write a customized project or projects for the course.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 543, 579 Online Multi-Genre Workshops<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The student will participate regularly with student colleagues and with an instructor in on-line discussion of student work in multiple genres.\u00a0 The course will help students to develop the capacity to analyze, edit, and discuss their own work and the work of others. It will also train them to benefit from editorial observations and critiques. The workshop instructor may also introduce outside texts and writing exercises. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 569 Internship or Teaching Practicum<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The program requires students to share their understandings as writers with others who want or need to write.\u00a0 The student will work as a teacher or coach of writing under the tutelage of a qualified mentor.\u00a0 Alternatively, the student may participate in an internship to gain hands-on experience in a chosen field. The student will be required to keep a journal of his or her experience and to write a substantial evaluation of the experience. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 571 The Individual and Aesthetic Process<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The program requires students to develop a sense of their own voices and to learn how to be self-critical about their writing.\u00a0 The student will write a theory of writing that examines his or her own view of what makes effective and significant writing.\u00a0 The goal is to develop standards of value appropriate to the genre in which the writer wishes to excel.\u00a0 The writer must articulate a theoretical basis that involves awareness of critical perspectives on his or her principal genre. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 576 Writing in the Primary Genre II<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This second required course in the primary genre will further develop the writer\u2019s skills. Again, students will research, develop, and write a project or projects for the course. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 577 Writing in the Primary Genre III\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4 SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This third required course in the primary genre will further develop the writer\u2019s skills. Again, students will research, develop, and write a project or projects for the course.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 578 Writing in the Second Genre<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The professional writer needs the ability to move from one genre of writing to another. The program, therefore, requires the student to concentrate on a second genre of writing.\u00a0 With the guidance of a faculty mentor, the student will research, develop, and write a project or projects for this course. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 582, 583 Online Multi-Genre Workshops<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The student will participate regularly with student colleagues and with an instructor in on-line discussion of student work in multiple genres.\u00a0 The course will help students to develop the capacity to analyze, edit, and discuss their own work and the work of others. It will also train them to benefit from editorial observations and critiques. The workshop instructor may also introduce outside texts and writing exercises.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
WRT 584 Thesis<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n\u00a0\u00a0 8\u00a0SH<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The student will write a book-length piece of writing in the primary genre.\u00a0\u00a0 The writer will develop this thesis in consultation with a thesis director and second reader.\u00a0 The program requires students to complete the thesis in a publishable form as judged by the thesis advisor and M.F.A coordinator and reviewed by the M.F.A. committee.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
