Courses
This course examines three broad types of writing students will encounter at and beyondHopkins: narrative writing, analytical writing, and technical writing. Each has its ownimplications within the walls of JHU, from research papers to creative projects, but each willextend to the opportunities students pursue outside of academia. Above all, this coursedemystifies the idea that some writers just “have it” by decoding the processes that lead togreat writing and building students’ confidence in written expression to carry forward into theirstudies and professional pursuits. Offered in summers only.

Writing Intensive
Reintroduction to Writing, JHU’s first-year writing course, steps beyond the writing skillsnecessary to get to college: our shared project is to help you learn how to write for the rest ofyour life. We approach writing as an adaptable process of inquiry and action, as deeplyinformed by reading, and as reflective, embodied, and always emerging practice. In this course,we will rethink writing in ways that will help you throughout college, your professional career,personal life, and civic responsibilities in a democracy. Toward that end, this course teaches youto become an agile, curious, creative, and resilient writer. You will read and write academictexts; rhetorically analyze a wide variety of sources, including for the conventions of diversegenres; and write across genres, developing skill and precision in your writing, as well as fluencyacross contexts, audiences, and media. Topics vary. Please see the specific semester andsection for current offerings. In fall semesters (only), we offer sections of Reintro reserved for students at the sophomore level and above.
