<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here are the CRWT graduate course descriptions I
have so far for Spring Quarter:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>262 Sec: 001 - Fiction Workshop For
Non-Emphasis MFAs -- Lalami</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=2>This course is specifically geared for MFAs
whose primary emphasis is not fiction, and who want to take a fiction workshop
to meet one of their cross-genre requirements.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>262 Sec: 002 - Fiction Workshop for Fiction MFAs -

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>230 Research Nonfiction - Lutz</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Garamond size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><FONT face=Garamond><FONT size=2>This
workshop will focus on research nonfiction, books or articles that require
reporting, interviews, electronic, library, and archival research.
Students should bring a project with them to this workshop, which can be either
historical or contemporary or both, and which they have already formulated as an
idea or have already started as a piece. Those doing book projects will
produce a draft of a formal book proposal, those doing an article will produce
either a draft of the piece or a detailed pitch. We will read a few
proposals and a few examples, work with research librarians, and workshop our
own pieces, proposals, and pitches.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Blackhawk Down, which is available online, all the readings listed by week on
the syllabus are available as pdf or Word downloads from the course's Blackboard
website. The week-by-week listings do suggest that if students have never read
<I>Hiroshima, In Cold Blood</I> and <I>The Orchid Thief</I>, they should buy and
read the full texts, not just the excerpts
online.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
