How are English and Creative Writing Courses being taught during Spring Term 2020?

The Department of English and Creative Writing Spring 2020 courses will be moving to a remote teaching format. Due to this unexpected change, the department would like to provide further information about how the courses will be taught. There are three different teaching formats for spring term courses: synchronous teaching, asynchronous teaching, and a combination of the two. What this means is that some courses will be taught in real time and will meet at a designated time via teleconferencing tools (Zoom, e.g.), and therefore will be taught synchronously. Other courses will be taught by providing students with pre-recorded lectures and course materials that they can access at any time mainly through Canvas, meaning the course will be asynchronous. If you have limited or slow internet connection, or are in a time zone other than Eastern Standard Time, it may be difficult to participate in a course that is being taught synchronously. Please consider this and communicate with your professors and the Department of English and Creative Writing with any questions or concerns so that you can succeed in your courses this term. Below is the list of English and creative writing courses with information on how they will be taught during the term (please check back regularly for updates).
