AFST 264 - Introductory Writing in Africana Studies

(3.00)

An introductory writing course that will teach students to write and speak effectively based on the study and critique of internationally acclaimed works of creative literature from African and the Diaspora. The course permits students to become experts on the content of three short texts written by Nobel Literary Prize winners of African descent. Students will use these three texts as the basis for most of the semester’s writing exercises and will work closely with the course professor to learn and practice a series of new, creative, common sense, and systematic approaches to exploring the component parts of the analytical writing experience. Recommended Preparation: ENGL 100 and AFST 100
