480 Course Descriptions MENG 6610 - Advanced Studies in Genre (2-3) Variable Title Students will analyze primary and secondary texts about one genre or sub-genre to develop a definition and understanding of the form. This variable emphasis course may be repeated for credit with different subject matter. MENG 6710 - Variable Topics (2-3) Variable Title Topics will vary based on student interest and instructor expertise. This course may be repeated for credit with different subject matter. MENG 6821 - Teaching Developmental Reading and Writing (2) This course introduces first-time teachers to the theory and practice of teaching developmental reading and writing. MENG 6822 - Teaching College Writing (2) This course introduces first-time teachers to the theory and practice of teaching college writing. MENG 6823 - Teaching Practicum (l) This course supports teachers in their second semester of teaching college writing. Students will meet regularly to develop teaching strategies, enhance grading skills, resolve problems that have arisen in their classes, and plan strategies and procedures for classes they are teaching. MENG 6830 - Directed Readings (1-3) This course allows students credit for individual study with a professor, usually for further study that grows out of course work. The student and professor agree to a written contract for study which must be approved by the program director. No more than 3 credit hours of directed readings may apply toward the MA degree unless approved by the program director. This course is designed to allow students to explore in depth and/or breadth, subject matter which goes beyond the established courses in the Master's Degree Program. MENG 6920 - Short Courses, Workshops, Institutes and Special Programs (1-4) In order to provide flexibility and to meet many different needs, a number of specific offerings are possible using this catalog number. When the number is used it will be accompanied by a brief and specific descriptive title. The specific title with the credit authorized for the particular offering will appear on the student transcript. MENG 6940 - Masters Project (2-6) This course provides for the creation and execution of a project growing out of graduate study particularly as it applies to the workplace. Project credit may be taken in increments of 1-3 hours in any term. MENG 6960 - Thesis (6) Thesis credit may be taken in increments of 1-3 hours in any term. The thesis is a capstone research and scholarly writing course for the Master's Degree Program.
