| Learning Goals: |
Course Goals:We’ll learn how stories are put together, focusing on structure, language, and style. We will read and discuss published stories, as well as write and share exercises. You will also be reading the work of your classmates, and putting your own work up for workshop. Bring in enough copies of your work for everyone, including one for yourself on the day your story is due. You must be willing to put your writing up for close scrutiny, and able to give criticism generously and honestly. The best workshop is about approaching the work on its own terms. Egos should have nothing to do with it. Remember: the only way to learn how to improve is to talk about what is working and what is not. The best reader is both sympathetic to the project, and without mercy. Strive to be your own best reader. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
