CMM 285 - Creative Writing (3)

Prerequisite: ENG 101 . (Cross-referenced with ENG 285 .)


This course will engage students in the craft of storytelling. They will practice both fiction and creative nonfiction, learning to apply techniques associated with each genre for the benefit of writing in both genres. They will also identify and evaluate important distinctions between the two, notably the nonfiction writer’s burden of accuracy and authenticity. Deliberate focus on the acquisition and value of narrative knowledge will enable students to articulate how stories work and why this knowledge matters to life and work beyond the page.
