ENGL 301 - Reading Like a Writer

Credits: (3)
Welcome to Reading Like a Writer, an interactive, discussion-based class. You will read and respond to contemporary works of literature as writers, rather than as critics or biographers. Through the process of examining the moves writers make, you will be poised to make similar moves yourself. Our course will challenge you to perform close readings of texts; prepare clean, well-edited writing; revise, edit, and proofread your writing through multiple drafts; and offer substantive, constructive feedback for your peers’ writing. This course counts toward the English major or minor and is required for the Creative Writing minor.
