WRITING (L13)  (Dept. Info)Arts & Sciences  (Policies)SP2018
L13 Writing 490Creative Writing Capstone Seminar3.0 Units
Description:This course is designed for English majors who are concentrating in creative writing and who are interested in pursuing a long-form project (collection of stories, collection of poems, novella, novel, collection of essays, novella or novel-length memoir). The course is also open to advanced writers from outside the concentration or major, but these students will be expected to petition the instructor for enrollment by submitting a work sample of 10 pages (in the instructor's mailbox by Dec. 1, 2017). This course will enable each student to situate their work in the context of a community of undergraduate writers, as well as in the larger literary world. There are several aspects to this seminar: as a group, you will read several books on writers and writing and discuss them over the course of the semester, finding ways to think and speak about your own writerly interests and creative practices. Next, through group workshops, you will respond to the work of your peers to whom you will submit your long form project in several stages. Visitors to our seminars will include fellows and faculty from the Washington University MFA program and visiting writers participating in the English Dept. reading series; you will have the chance to interact with these visitors in a series of Q&As in which we will learn about their individual creative practices. Finally, throughout the semester you will meet with your faculty guide to discuss the evolution of your project. After each meeting, students will be expected to prepare a response / assessment of the meeting, as well as a revision plan. Pre-reqs: Students must have completed the 200 and 300 level course sequence for the concentration. Please note that this course does NOT count toward the sequence of courses required for completion of the creative writing concentration or an elective.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
