CHOOSING AN OBERLIN WRITING COURSE At Oberlin College four departments or programs offer writing courses. Here are some questions to consider to find the right course for your needs. 1. If you have taken the TOEFL exam, what was your score? If it was 600 or below , you should contact Linda Gates in the Learning Assistance Studies Program (Peters 108) and seek her advice about taking a course for speakers of English as a second language. She offers Mastering Skills for Speaking English as a Second Language I, II, and III (LRNS 110, 111, and 112). Experience in speaking and writing English is required for any of the other writing courses at Oberlin. 2. What was your SAT I-V score and what has been your previous writing experience? If you are a first- or second-year student regardless of SAT-V score and you would like to develop confidence and experience in writing and work on nonfiction prose in a course with a variety of readings, you should take a Rhetoric and Composition Program colloquium (RHET 111-119). If you would like to read and write about a variety of topics, you should take a First-Year Seminar, most of which are writing intensive (WRi) and provide some consultation on writing.

buy back issues add to the archive contact an editor home JAC 17.3 Nature/Writing: Literature, Ecology, and Composition Randall Roorda I am a peripheral figure: a compositionist specializing in nature writing. I wrote a dissertation on the genre then went looking for work in my field, and I can imagine the quizzical, dismissive looks that greeted my vita as it landed on one stack of rejects after another. Less my research topic than my teaching record, I suspect, opened such doors as allowed me to explain this seeming anomoly in my professional identity. And explain I did: not a single interview unfolded that did not begin with the question, How does your dissertation relate to composition? Composition itself is a single appellation, but one that is variously construed. How I represent my concern with nature writing as belonging to composition will imply a view of what composition is or incorporates, and that , obviously, is in flux. Whether it is, as Janice Lauer has it, a "dappled discipline," or piebald, or molting, or exploded, there is no question but that a great many rings of various prominence occupy the big top of our collective attentions. One test as to whether a subject or pursuit belongs within this enclosure can be readily evoked: an appeal to precedent. What's done in a field is what's been done. Thus the short answer to the question I've posed: composition has long shown an interest in something called "literary nonfiction," and nature writing is a variant thereof. Take, for instance, Chris Anderson's two books or Ross Winterowd's book on the subject, or the several CCCC conference sessions held each year on modes or genres or practitioners of belletristic prose. Nature writing's status within composition, then, hinges first on a larger boundary problem. If nothing else, these efforts attest to the fact that some compositionists feel licensed to perform literary analysis of the sheerest sort if the objects of their performances are not demonstrably lies.

54. Review -- Literary Nonfiction: Theory, Criticism, Pedagogy Chris Anderson uses the term “literary nonfiction” to cover the essay and two fields we have drawn on literary criticism, and rhetoric and composition. http://jac.gsu.edu/jac/11.1/Reviews/14.htm

buy back issues add to the archive contact an editor home JAC 11.1 (1991) Review Literary Nonfiction: Theory, Criticism, Pedagogy, ed. Chris Anderson (Carbon-dale: Southern Illinois UP, 1989, 337 pages). Reviewed by Nancy R. Comley, Queens College, CUNY It seeks to convey the sense of a human presence, a human presence that is indisputably related to its author’s deepest sense of self, but that is also a complex illusion of that self—an enactment of it as if it were both in the process of thought and in the process of sharing the outcomes of that thought with others. Considered in this light, the essay, rather than being the clear-cut, straightforward, and transparent form of discourse that it is usually considered to be, is itself a very problematic form of writing. (173) As Klaus notes, this definition is at odds with those who make distinctions between “formal” and “informal” essays or “conversational and explora­tory” essays as do William Zeiger and others in this collection; some seem to be defining the essay by what has been done to it in composition textbooks. Klaus quotes J.B. Priestley on this matter: “It is a pity that other types of prose composition which could easily be given such a title as ‘theme,’ ‘thesis,’ or ‘article,’ should bear the name [of essay]” (173). Douglas Hesse (“Stories in Essays, Essays in Stories”) argues against textbooks which claim that “narrative essays contain stories that illustrate or prove points.” He finds that narrative essays make points “by giving propo­sitions a place in story,” emphasizing the persuasive nature of the story, a “persuasiveness inherent in our acceptance of stories.” George Dillon, drawing on John Searle’s “The Logical Status of Fictional Discourse,” is concerned with “workaday” prose, analyzing the blurring between fact and fiction in two popular advice books and two academic pieces. Concentrating on the “use of semi-fictionalized accounts of experience and events as
