[Biostudent] Writers on Writing offered again in Winter 2024

[BIOLOGY]

I’m writing to let you know that Writers on Writing (ENGL 285) will be back this coming winter quarter, and is a fun way for your students to earn 5 A&H credits. This coming winter, for the first time, all students enrolled will also earn W credit.

This is a great class for your majors who harbor a secret—or not so secret!—love of reading and writing, or those who are just curious about how poets and novelists create their work. In past years, I’ve had students from nearly every major and ranging from freshman to senior. I’ve enjoyed working with all of them!

This winter, the class will meet in person, although some of our visiting writers will join us over Zoom. This large class will be broken into smaller pods to provide a sense of community, to share and receive feedback on their own experiments in writing poetry, fiction, and memoir, and to discuss issues raised by the assigned readings. On their own time, students will watch recordings of a wide variety of writers lecturing or reading from their work, read widely, and participate in online discussion forums.

I've attached a flyer which I hope you'll send around, and am happy to answer any questions you or students might have!

Sincerely,
Maya
