Students attend this course delivered during a 10-day intensive residency. Students must complete pre-assignments before attending the residency, including reading all assigned texts, submitting the worksheet for the Workshop Booklet, and submitting a short critical essay on the faculty book/script in common. Students are assigned to participate in Workshops led by faculty mentors and are expected to be open to the comments of faculty and students, to provide comments on the work of other students, and to participate in any other assignments presented by Workshop faculty. In addition to Workshop, the students attend required lectures, conferences, and readings, and participate in cross-genre and interrelatedness-of-the-arts activities. If continuing into ENG653, student and mentor usually create an Independent Study Plan for ENG653.
