Course Participation

You are expected to attend one play and one movie screening with your classmates. You will also be expected to read the scripts for both of these dramatic pieces. You are expected to attend all workshops of other writers, come prepared and give helpful feedback to one another. You will also be a “lead respondent” in at least one workshop. Your performance as a lead respondent will be weighted more heavily than your weekly workshop responses. You should read more about writers workshops on the course blog.

Course Participation points will be gained five ways:

1.) by performing your lead respondent duties with excellence.
2.) by giving regular good feedback (written and oral) to writers in the workshop.
3.) by engaging in course discussions of readings.
4.) by attending class regularly.
5.) by attending special writer-events throughout the semester.
