ENG 117(C) - Introduction to Creative Writing

Credit(s): 3
MassTransfer Block Code: Humanities/Fine and Performing Arts
This course introduces students to the fundamental Creative Writing skills of brainstorming, journaling, and pre-writing in a supportive environment. Students will read poems, plays, short stories, and creative-nonfiction pieces as models, they’ll experiment with common literary structures and forms, and they’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore creative ideas in their own ways, culminating in a portfolio of completed work.

Note: This course does not replace ENG 101 or ENG 102, nor is it a prerequisite to any of the 200-level Creative Writing courses - though it’s designed to work well as a first course for students interested in the subject.
