Bio

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

ENG1101 Blain FA2020

EN­G1101 Blain FA2020

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

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.
