BAWRT3003 Advanced Writing Modes and Genres
This course is designed as an upper-level study of the theory and practice of writing and provides students with the opportunity to consolidate, apply, and further develop previously attained skills and critical approaches to creative writing through engaging with more advanced topics selected by the course coordinator. Through close reading of a series of exemplary creative texts and through engagement with relevant critical readings and their own research, students will consider the critical and theoretical aspects of various writing techniques, styles, modes and genres as a means of advancing and better understanding their own writing practice throughout the course The course topics may consider the nature of certain literary forms and the cross-pollination between and amongst genres; students might study a range of writing styles, genres, and conventions, or the topic may focus on one genre in particular. Students will be encouraged to critically evaluate the cultural and creative apparatuses of creative writing production in relation to mode and/or genre, and professional practice, and they will have the opportunity to acquire advanced skills for publication of creative work. This is an advanced level workshop course where students will be required to demonstrate a high level of workshopping and peer-review skills.
