ENG-652 is an elective course MFA students or students enrolled in the Post Master’s Writing Enrichment Certificate program may take to work on a project or to work in another area of concentration. The majority of instruction for this advanced course takes place during the intensive residency; however, the course also requires students to complete significant pre-assignments before arriving at residency: students submit original creative writing to be discussed during the residency Workshop and read and respond to materials in the Workshop Booklet. In addition, students read all other assigned texts, including books and/or scripts in common. Students view films, when required. Students are also required to participate in orientations and curriculum sessions, including a virtual Workshop facilitated before residency by a faculty workshop leader. In residency Workshop, students 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, students attend required lectures, conferences, readings, and participate in Small Group Discussions or cross-genre and/or interrelatedness-of-the-arts activities. Students submit residency reports and a Workshop evaluation.
