Are you interested in music, photography, theater, science, or philosophy? Are you a teacher searching for ideas to use in the classroom? Are you a business professional wanting to polish your communication skills? Do you simply enjoy books and good conversation?

Maybe you’ve always wanted to be a writer, but you’re not sure how to get started. Or you’re a writer whose work needs more attention. The University Without Walls program offers a wide range of classes and workshops for writers and readers — anyone with an inquisitive mind.

CLASS LEVELS

All: Class is designed for Writers and readers of all levels.

Beginner: Class is designed for Writers and readers who are new to the course subject and/or design.

Intermediate: Class is designed for Writers and readers who have background knowledge of the course subject, will complete required readings, and will actively participate in class discussion and are comfortable with in-class writing exercises. If  the class includes a writing workshop, writers will have a basic understanding of the workshop process.

Intermediate/Advanced: Class is designed for students with Intermediate level requirements plus a knowledge of all technical and formal aspects pertinent to the class.  Participants are experienced in critical analysis. Writers have a history of practical experience in this area, have participated in several writing workshops, and are probably researching the publication process (and have a realistic understanding of its demands.)

Advanced: Class is designed for students with Intermediate/Advanced requirements plus extensive knowledge of the course subject. Each participant is something of an expert in this field. Each writer has attained a professional level, that is, writing has become an integral part of her/his routine and her/his work is of publication quality.
