LIT 593 - Writing A Critical Introduction To The MFA Thesis


The Self-Referral Integration of Imagination and Intellect
Credits: 2
Prerequisites: Three semesters of MFA CW Mentorships and Workshops
Co-requisites: CW 593 - MFA Thesis  
Delivery mode: Online
In the fourth semester of study, the Advanced Process Mentorship fully supports the completion of the MFA thesis. Instead of craft analysis and critical essays, students write a critical introduction to their thesis, giving their creative process and craft choices a literary and scholarly context. Students are expected to refer to ideas and techniques discussed in The Flow of Consciousness to enrich their explications. In each monthly packet, students include a draft of a portion of their introduction, then use mentor feedback for revision. The final draft of the thesis introduction should include MLA citations and a Works Cited page.
