ENG1121 English Composition 2, FA2021 OL12
An advanced course in expository essay writing that requires a library paper. Further development of research and documentation skills (MLA style). Assigned literary and expository readings. This is a course using the Core Books at CUNY and First Year Writing curricula. (We’re reading a lot, but you don’t have to buy a textbook for this class, because all our texts are online! Woot!) Together, we will explore and write within new genres, conduct research, and reflect on our writing practices. By the end of this semester, youâll be able to analyze and participate in genres inside and outside of higher education. The aim is to build skills that will be useful in future coursework, the workplace, and in your personal lives. In other words, this course isnât self-containedâweâre aiming to give you a toolbox of skills that you can apply to other classes and situations.
ENG1141 Creative Writing, FA2021 OL20
All writing is creative, including the writing you do for school, internet posts to social media, and text/email messages. Where there was a blank pageâvirtual or otherwiseâand you fill it with your words, you have, in fact, drawn on your intellectual resources to create patterns of meaning with those words. âCreative writing,â however, generally refers to poetry, fiction, drama, and some forms of non-fictionâmemoirs and narratives that use the techniques of story-telling. We will focus on understanding how form and meaning work together and on understanding the types and complexities of each genreânotably, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, and cross-genresâso each student can begin to develop their unique, individual voice.
