ENG 120 - Introduction to Creative Writing

Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: 3-0-3
This course is an introduction to creative writing. It is a writing-intensive course designed to give students opportunities to express themselves in poetry, fiction, and drama, and to understand the craft of writing “from the inside” rather than analyzing it from the outside as a literature student. Students will read and respond to work by professional writers and fellow students in a workshop format. The basis for success in the course is not the quality of the student’s imagination, but the quality of participation as a writer and reader.Prerequisite: COMPASS placement into ENG 101 or minimum grade of “C” in one of the following: ENG 021 and ENG 099 or the EAP course sequence ENG 079 and ENG 089 , or ENG 096 .
