ENC 4311 Spring 2018 Roberts

In this course, we explore forms of nonfiction writing: journalism, personal essays, travel writing, investigative writing, and memoir. You will do a variety of writing exercises and learn how (we hope) to research, to observe and to focus. The goal is to produce a draft of an essay, 10-15 pages long, and a revision of this essay, both of which will be workshopped by the class.

Writing requires discipline and application to the craft. You will not get a good grade for effort alone. This is an advanced course which requires advanced work.
