EN - 540 Practicum

Credits: 4 credits

This practicum begins upon the completion of the prerequisite MFA Residency course (EN 504). Students will develop and update a practicum plan under the guidance of their fiction or poetry mentor. Assignments will include an assessment of the residency experience focused on the craft of writing, extensive literary reading, a literary craft analysis paper, three to four creative works by the students, and participation in two to four online workshops. By the fourth practicum, students will have assembled and revised almost all of the material that will eventually comprise their thesis manuscript.
