Gina:
I suggest we change the title to Creative Nonfiction to align with four-year schools and MFA programs. I've advocated for this course in the past.
In the course description, I'd delete the first line. In the second sentence, I'd delete ADVANCED and just say "provides additional practice in..." At the end, I'd make mention of writing options like memoir, narrative and feature writing, opinion essays... so the gambit of nonfiction is covered.
It's a course that many of my students have asked for in the past. I think it would be a great addition to OCC! Good work.
The changes sound fine to me. Thanks for your support.
