The faculty members who announce your name at graduation indicate, however, that you majored in English with a Creative Writing emphasis. You can declare a creative writing emphasis when you declare your English major. Even though you have declared CW emphasis, you must still apply and be accepted to the intermediate class, English 190 or 192. Admission is based on the quality of your writing as judged by the 190 or 192 instructor. You should note that admission to one intermediate class does not automatically guarantee admission to a second class.
Admission is always up to the individual instructor.
Students are asked to produce frequent written exercises and to read the work of professional writers as a means to analyzing craft. Intermediate writing courses are generally in the form of workshops. In workshop, students distribute copies of their stories or poems to the class and the instructor. Comments are made only and always about the work, never about the author. Generally the instructor will summarize discussion with emphasis on what in particular should be considered during revision.
