EN 5311 - Mentorship Study: Creative Writing

Mentorship Study coursework is guided by an approved individualized study plan and one-on-one faculty mentorship. This course requires students to submit a required amount of creative work, as well as to read and respond critically to selected literary works, paying particular attention to craft and/or literary theory and emphasizing the development of research and writing in practice. Students will explore the relationship between their critical engagement with selected literary and scholarly texts and their own writing. Faculty mentors will provide feedback, support, and direction to assist students in the development of their research, writing, and revision processes.

For each section of Mentorship Study, students will complete and submit assigned packets of coursework which include written responses to assigned reading writing, formal critical papers, and creative or project work in the student’s specified genre, form, or area of practice. While course content is individualized, all students must meet the program’s standard curricular and credit hour requirements. Home-based. Credits: 4 or 8 Pass/No Record
