GSC3421 (Writing 1) and GSC3422 (Writing 2) will be offered internally in 1997, and internally and by distance education mode from 1998.
The writing major provides a sequence of subjects which will enable students to gain an understanding of a range of contemporary writing practices in the context of cultural and media studies, materialist and feminist frameworks, and analyses of literary and other media forms. Students will become familiar with different kinds of contemporary writing, especially prose forms (eg prose fiction, feature articles, film and TV scripts, reviewing, travel writing, autobiography, biography and the essay), and acquire detailed knowledge of a range of techniques associated with contemporary cultural production. At second and, more fully, at third-level students will be able to reflect critically upon their own practices while developing and applying skills and techniques through individual and collaborative projects.
Students completing a writing major will complete fifty-two points including twelve points at first level, sixteen points at second level, twenty-four points at third level. Students wishing to complete a writing minor will complete twenty-eight to thirty-two points, including GSC3421 (Writing 1: techniques).
