Writing to learn
In this course, students will explore the broader publishing landscape, from small literary magazines and zines to Big-5 commercial presses and everything between. The course will discuss how to enter the publishing industry, what to expect as a writer, and the industry’s issues and inequalities. We will walk through the hurdles and steps a manuscript must pass to achieve publication, and we’ll workshop materials that will be useful in publishing (such as marketing pitches and query letters). We will also engage with the industry’s history and with the local Twin Cities literary environment. The aim of the course is to empower students with industry knowledge and current trends so that they can be successful as writers or future editors. The course satisfies a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 120, 121, or 190.

Writing Intensive
In what ways are we telling stories in our writing--stories of research, stories that show how we interpret what we see and experience, stories that move people to think and act differently? This course will give students the opportunity to strengthen their academic writing and lay foundations for writing in their field through the lens of storytelling; learn how to write with voiced, passionate, cutting-edge energy; and consider what is expected as a writer and speaker in their chosen field and revisit honestly how they work and define good writing. Per the undergraduate catalog, this course introduces students to current writing, rhetorical, and pedagogical theory, and helps them develop a vocabulary for talking about writing and strengthen their abilities to write and to assist others in developing their academic literacy. Students will practice writing in a variety of genres.

ENGL 305 is an introduction to the systematic study of the structure and use of the English language, with an emphasis on connections between academic linguistics and relevant social and educational questions. Students will study the English sound system through phonetics and phonology, word formation processes through morphology, and structures and meanings of clauses through syntax and semantics. Throughout the process of learning the linguistic tools to describe the English language, students consider variations of structures and uses in different varieties of English and critically engage with issues related to linguistic difference. With the linguistic toolkit introduced in the class, students will examine instances of language use in various social contexts, addressing the intersections of language and aspects of diversity including race, ethnicity, gender, political perspective, and citizenship. This course fulfills the Theory and Practice requirement in the English with Literature and Writing major and is a required course for English with Secondary Education majors. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190.
