Utah Tech University

Subject:

English

Description:

Required of English majors pursuing an emphasis in Creative Writing as well as students pursuing the Creative Writing minor; open to other interested students. Students compile work produced in core courses offered through the Creative Writing emphasis, among them ENGL 2250R: Introduction to Creative Writing, ENGL 3140: Fiction Writing, ENGL 3141: Poetry Writing and ENGL 3142: Creative Nonfiction. Using rubrics and theory-driven texts as well as technical guidelines articulated by the instructor, students workshop, revise and compile creative material simultaneously for peers in the immediate class setting and for audiences outside the University community, e.g. graduate programs, literary journals and employers in the publishing industry. Students assemble work for an electronic portfolio. Students produce an extensive statement that addresses the aesthetic and/or rhetorical objectives of the creative work they have gathered, the intended audience of these pieces and the broadened understanding of craft and technique that has resulted from the rigorous revision strategies the course requires. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Organize creative writing ePortfolios for presentation to groups outside of the undergraduate setting, such as graduate school admissions committees and employers in the publishing industry. 2. Employ effective workshop strategies to help peers enhance both their creative work and the manner in which they present it for review. 3. Analyze different editorial policies and practices of creative writing publications. 4. Synthesize theoretical claims, experience-based findings and personal beliefs about aesthetics and rhetoric to produce a manifesto on creative literary production. 5. Use technology to successfully create an ePortfolio for academic and professional advancement.
