Writing to learn
Increasingly, education for nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals includes the practices of reading literature, writing reflectively, and engaging in role-play to learn how to care for patients (and for themselves). This is sometimes called narrative medicine. By focusing on stories (of the patient, the healthcare professional, and the cultures and systems in which both live) and therefore humanizing the often-impersonal world of the healthcare system, it improves the quality of care for patients and reduces burnout among healthcare professionals. In this course we will engage in practices of narrative medicine, reading and writing about literature as a means of understanding ourselves and others. The texts we'll read illuminate questions about pain and illness, empathy and the training of healthcare professionals, the health implications of racial and economic injustice, and the need for reformation of the healthcare system. Prerequisites: ENGL 120, ENGL 121, or ENGL 190

Writing Intensive
This course introduces students to the craft of creative writing, focusing on three broad genres: poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Students learn how various forms (e.g., free verse, the sonnet, narrative) have developed and evolved historically and within various contexts (cultural, political, social)—and by extension, what it means to write in these forms today. They receive instruction in setting, character, voice, point of view, literal and figurative imagery, rhythm and sound patterns, and literary structures; and practice writing in all three genres. Assignments include close readings of literary texts that model craft techniques, weekly writing exercises that encourage exploration and development of craft, and workshop discussions to develop students’ analytic and critical skills. For English majors, it fulfills the Genre Study requirement. Prerequisites: ENGL 120, ENGL 121, or ENGL 190
