L13 Writing 490Creative Writing Capstone Seminar3.0 Units
Description:This is a course for undergraduates who have been seriously applying themselves to their writing and now feel ready to tackle a longer series or book project--a work more involved than the typical creative writing workshop can make space for. The course will therefore differ from a traditional workshop in important ways. To begin with, students will not be separated by genre. Furthermore, rather than looking at individual stories, essays, or poems when we meet as a group we will focus on recent (within the last ten or twenty years) first books in each of our three genres. The reading list will include a mix of local and national authors, and we will hear from each author as to their experience writing a first book and getting it published. In this way, students will come to understand something more of what writing a book requires, and will also gain insight into paths toward publication. Perhaps most significantly, this class will emphasize independent work and one-on-one meetings with the professor; there will be only one round of group workshops at the tail end of the semester. To enroll, students must have finished (or be finishing concurrently) the full sequence in one of the three creative writing tracks, OR they should apply to the professor for special admittance. Please note that this course does NOT count toward the sequence of courses required for completion of the creative writing concentration or as 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.
