Short Description: In this course you choose your own adventure and create a biographical writing project based on self-directed research. At the beginning of the course, each student will propose a person to research, as we learn about the history, genres, and ethics of biographical writing. Much of this course is dedicated to biographical research, and learning scholarly and journalistic research methods. During the last four weeks of the course, students will draft, workshop, and revise a long-form piece of research-based biographical writing. This is an online asynchronous course with no set class meeting times or required synchronous activities. The curriculum is designed to facilitate flexible coursework throughout the week, so that you can learn at your own pace and develop skills for self-directed research. Each week, there are reading and writing assignments, as well as discussion threads in which we can share our ideas and communicate with others about their research projects. Discussion threads count as participation in the course, and must be contributed to by Wednesday evenings. At the end of each unit of the course, all homework will be compiled and submitted in the form of a writing portfolio for assessment and feedback.
Add deadline: June 30, 2023, at 5 pm.
