Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this Columbia College Chicago Catalog; however, the Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
Course requires that students read fiction known to be autobiographical in nature and respond with journal entries and classroom discussion. Students research primary sources concerning a writer, his or her work, and the process by which the work came into being; give an oral report; and write a final essay. Students read aloud journal entry responses to readings and write their own autobiographical fiction, some of which is read and responded to in class.
