Courses I Teach

Below are the most recent course outlines
for some of the classes I teach. A general journalism bibliography follows the links. This bibliography comes in handy with JOU 1100, JOU 4004 and JOU 4301.

I haven't taught Literary Journalism in a while (the syllabus here is from 2005) and I miss it. I plan to schedule myself to teach it again soon.
