Abstract

This course for third- and fourth-year BAE students dives deeply into theories about writing and creativity. Students will read and discuss texts from both scholarly and popular writers who talk about their writing processes and philosophies. Topics of focus will include the writing process, revision, consideration of audience, source use, and the potential of generative AI tools. Students will produce a statement of their own writing philosophy as well as apply the theories discussed in class to an ongoing project of their own.
