Jay Farness
This course studies selected plays in light of current critical practices for interpreting Shakespeare's text, drama, and settings. Expect something that is both elementary and
advanced. The course will introduce you to or remind you about the celebrated features of Shakespeare as we know him from stage and, especially, from page. But the course
should also make you mindful of disconcerting conflicts between stage and page and so challenge and stretch your sense of close interpretation and its contexts. I hope you'll
need to read and think hard and, because it's Shakespeare, have fun doing it.
Chances are that most of you, if you haven't already done so, will one day be teaching Shakespeare. It matters to me that you feel good enough about Shakespeare to embrace
this teaching challenge when it's offered. This will probably involve—another course objective—your confidence that you generally know both what you're doing and what
Shakespeare is doing and that you know how to continue enriching, revising, and refining your Shakespeare skills. It's a big, insufficiently recognized advantage that Shakespeare's
active sociological imagination comes very close to business that teachers regularly confront and constantly ruminate. Seeing Shakespeare precisely as "popular art" or as "young

GRADUATE
adult literature," for instance, should help invigorate your thinking about general approaches or methods for teaching Shakespeare as well as about specific curricular topics,
activities, or objectives.
Here are two additional motives of our study worth mentioning. First, Shakespeare is by far the most popular author of what we term English Literature. What might this be
telling us about Shakespeare, about popular authorship, or about English Literature? And is this Shakespeare a who or a what? If Shakespeare is a what, is this Shakespeare a
live performance, a book, a text, a hypertext, a video, a movie, or some combination of these? And why has Shakespeare, whoever or whatever, become so important as a
school subject? Does this importance stem from something really in Shakespeare? Or from something in us or in our institutions?
Second, Shakespeare is also our most strenuously challenged author, a kind of embattled subject of new thinking in the humanities. Shakespeare's plays have tended to figure
prominently in some of the most interesting, innovative, and esoteric work in interdisciplinary analysis—in institutional history, for example, or in gender studies, in
psychoanalytic theory, in literary and cultural criticism, in theories of textuality, and in the sociology of art and knowledge. Why do we do all this with texts, with the past, with
Shakespeare in particular? (And who are "we"?).

We will study several concepts at the core of rhetorical studies and composition studies, with specific attention to drawing connections between how rhetorical principles,
worldview, cultural views, and politics influence how we approach contemporary written communication. We will sample though-provoking work in rhetoric and composition
studies, with the intent of equipping you for further in-depth study in specific sub-disciplines such as histories of argumentation, basic writing theory, professional writing

Design
This course is designed to give you a sense of what is involved in the job descriptions of a technical document manager, or information development writer or manager.
Because a document or information development manager is likely to be your boss as a professional or technical writer, the course also describes industry expectations and
experiences for both management & production positions.
This course teaches essential project management skills. Academic writers typically have a private and idiosyncratic work schedule. When they receive a job, they disappear to
finally reappear days later with a draft. Professional writers cannot be this unattached to the business of a company. They must learn to quantify what they do so that when a
job is proposed, they can meaningfully estimate how long it should take to produce a draft. This also changes attitudes about asking for casual editing help when the response
is to first work through an estimated cost sheet for proposed changes.

As the title indicates, this course focuses on the ethics of professional & technical writing. In one sense, the ethical obligation of the profession seems crystal clear: to provide
honest, accurate, & usable information to end users. There is also an obvious concern to protect & warn readers about dangerous processes. On the other hand, if you were
employed by the tobacco industry in the last few decades you would undoubtedly have been involved in producing documents that were evasive at best & often outright lies.
Star Wars related promises & proposals also produced questions about honesty. The Challenger space shuttle disaster illustrated still other rhetorical & ethical problems. This
is a course in the Professional & Technical Writing MA & certificate programs. Consequently, the focus of the course will be less concerned with ethical theory (as in a
philosophy course) & more concerned with industry practices & the concerns of industry writers.

This is a graduate fiction forms class and writing workshop. In this course, students will do close readings and analyze craft of assorted autobiographic novels. Texts include
Teju Cole’s Open City, Marguerite Duras’ The Lover, Bessie Head’s A Question of Power, Ruth Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being, and Edward St. Aubyn’s Patrick Melrose, vol.
1—Never Mind. Students will learn how varied writers use a range of techniques, such as omniscience & alternating points of view, journaling, and fabulation to dramatize
personal engagement with a broad spectrum of issues, including psycho-socio trauma, displacement, and political conflict. While we’ll be studying the autobiographic novel,
students may submit varied fictions (short stories, novel chapters from work in progress) for workshop. In keeping with our goal to use graduate workshops as opportunities
for MFA candidates to submit early drafts of their theses for review, materials for workshops may diverge from our readings. This course will include blended learning formats
with roughly one-third of the classes meeting on-line via BBLearn.

of Basic Writing, we will also focus on the pedagogical implications of each set of theories and decide how we might apply them in our own classrooms and workplaces. The
book for the course is Otte and Mlynarczyk's Basic Writing. The rest of the course texts will be found in the course shell. Students will participate in discussions and produce

that require the need to write, and it focuses on the expectations, goals, situations, and needs of the reader. As a result, student writers pay close attention to research,
design of the document, medium in which the document is presented, and media used to distribute information.
This specific class addresses the theories and practices of written communication in educational and non-profit organizations. As practicing members of professional
communities, we will explore various approaches to how specific professional communities--especially educational and non-profit organizations--use traditional and new
media communication, and we will explore our roles and responsibilities for successful communication in different organizations. We will also analyze professional cultures,
social contexts, genres, new media, and audiences to determine how they shape the various purposes and forms of writing for educational, non-profit, and volunteer

Walter Henry Keithley III
The Restoration era (ca. 1660-1700) has been characterized as a period of transition- an intermediary between the Civil Wars and Interregnum on one end and the political
stability of the early Hanoverian monarchs on the other. Recent scholarship, however, has acknowledged the importance that the Restoration played not only in interpreting
the traumatic events of preceding decades but in negotiating and articulating the foundations of the intellectual, social, and cultural institutions of Modern Britain. In this
class, we will study six Restoration and early eighteenth century plays and a selection of contemporary and recent criticism. In doing so, we will come to understand how the
Restoration Theater represented evolving ideas about issues such as gender, religion, politics, sexuality, and science. Beyond representation, however, we will closely examine
how Restoration Theater and the criticism that it generated served as sites of knowledge production- spaces where new cultural forms were not only invented but were
subsequently subjected to public interrogation and re-negotiation.

This course will explore advanced issues in second language testing research focusing on Item Response Theory (IRT). IRT has been popularly used in investigating the
following research questions: (a) Do test items measure the target construct as intended?; (b) Do raters display certain biases toward L2 accents or L2 backgrounds?; (c)
Are test items fair to students? In this course, students will learn various theoretical concepts immediately applicable to language testing problems and how to examine
various properties of test items using IRT software.
