The best teachers of writing are writers themselves. The purpose of this class is to develop writing assignments relevant to the teaching of writing, to study a number of genres, and to have practice writing in those genres. Students may be asked to write an argument, experiment with writing in a discipline not their own, develop skills in business and technical writing, write nonfiction prose, participate in writing exercises illustrating a number of rhetorical modes and continue work with the development of style and voice. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.
