Course Information

Description

*Only Offered for Online Ed.M. Students* This course is designed for students who want to write more powerful, compelling, and thoughtful essays. Through drafting, revising, and examining responses to their own written work, students will learn how to persuade, inform, and delight readers. The best of today's essayists and bloggers draw on a long tradition of essay writing, and this course will provide multiple opportunities to explore the lyrical and analytical features of classic and contemporary essays. We'll study the means by which essays and essayists insinuate themselves into our lives as readers and writers. Students will write each day and will participate in small groups and workshops to discuss their writing.
