ENG 2208 - Advanced Composition

Credits: 4
Designed to support writers’ development as prose stylists. Primary emphasis placed on students’ own nonfiction writing – about objects, places local or distant, and people familiar or famous. Students learn to generate material, to revise prose for fluidity and grace, and to recognize how style affects readers. Students also read published literary nonfiction (profiles, literary journalism, nature writing, memoir) to learn about craft in prose, imitate the techniques of published writers, and reflect on the creative process.
