Jacquelyn Blain’s Profile
writing, film studies
I’ve been a writer and/or writing instructor my entire life, having done everything from technical manuals to entertainment reporting to a decade as a writer-producer in one-hour network TV drama. My two main fields are composition/writing and film/media studies, and I’ve taught everything from composition to research writing to screenwriting, from fiction to film studies to filmmaking to writing video games. When I’m not doing any of that, I hang out with my family, watch a lot of movies, and read a lot of books.
My Courses
This is the course site for Jackie Blain’s ENG 1101 synchronous class for Fall 2020. Comp I is designed to help students read, think, and compose across a variety of situations.
This is the second half of the first year writing sequence, and it’s all about finding your public writing voice.
ENG2575 Technical Writing, SP2024
ENG 2575 is an advanced course in effective technical writing techniques, including traditional technical writing forms and World Wide Web communication. This course will have students use electronic media such as Internet, presentation, and graphics programs to communicate technical and scientific information to a variety of audiences via written and oral presentations. Students will also analyze readings in science and technology, study technical writing models, and practice collaborative research and presentation. Building on previous writing courses, this course will reinforce clarity of thinking and expression in effective and correct English. This is an asynchronous class — no specified meeting times.
