Students attend this course delivered during an intensive residency. Students must complete pre-assignments before attending residency, including submitting writing to be discussed during the residency Workshop, submitting a short review on the Faculty Book/Script in Common, and reading all assigned texts, the Program Book in Common, and the Genre Book in Common and viewing films, when required. Students are assigned to participate in Workshops in which faculty present various special topics in professional writing, including grant-writing, developmental, copy-, and line-editing, publication practices, writing for electronic media, or writing for nonprofits. Other special topics in professional writing may also be offered. In addition to Workshop, the students attend required lectures, conferences, and readings, and participate in cross-genre and interrelatedness-of-the-arts activities. ENG 635 students also view online required orientation sessions and participate in Small Group Discussions. Students submit residency reports and a Workshop evaluation.
