<h2 id="course-outline">Course outline</h2>
<p>During this course, you will be reading one story provided by the instructor, plus one story from each participant prior to beginning the workshop. The workshop will last for three one-hour sessions, beginning Friday night before the start of Oxfurred Comma itself.</p>
<dl>
<dt>Friday</dt>
<dt>Friday &mdash; Evening Pacific time</dt>
<dd>This will be the time to do some introductions and learn a bit about the process of critiquing in the context of a workshop. After that, we will run through a critique of ((Story)), followed by an open discussion. At the end, you will receive your assignment, due Saturday night at 5PM Pacific.</dd>
<dt>Saturday</dt>
<dt>Saturday &mdash; TBD</dt>
<dd>On Saturday, we will spend some time per author critiquing each other&rsquo;s stories, provided prior to the workshop. Pending remaining time, we will discuss what we liked and didn&rsquo;t like about the process of critique so that we bring that to the table on Sunday.</dd>
<dt>Sunday</dt>
<dt>Sunday &mdash; TBD</dt>
<dd>The final day will be spent critiquing the assignments received on Saturday. At the end, we will discuss what we can take away from the process of critique to apply to our own writing and critical reading. Participants will be provided a certificate upon completion.</dd>
</dl>
<h2 id="assignments">Assignments</h2>
<p>One week before the workshop begins, students will be provided with reading materials that will be heavily discussed in the workshop.</p>
<ul>
<li>Participants will be provided with a short critical reading assignment that they will have read with the goal of participating in a discussion about the mechanics and experience.</li>
<li>Participants will provide a short story or story segment of 1000&ndash;2000 words. Each participant will read the other participants&rsquo; stories with the same goal of providing feedback and learning for their own craft. This story should not be one that has been published before and, ideally, not one read by the other participants.</li>
<li>Participants will provide a short story or logically complete story segment with a paragraph of context of 1000&ndash;2000 words. Each participant will read the other participants&rsquo; stories with the same goal of providing feedback and learning for their own craft. This story should not be one that has been published before and, ideally, not one read by the other participants.</li>
</ul>
<p>During the workshop session on Friday, students will be provided with a writing assignment that will be due 24 hours later on the evening of Saturday. These assignments will be forwarded to the other participants to read that night/Sunday morning in order to be able to hold a second critique session during the final session.</p>
<p>I fully acknowledge that this is a short period of time, especially during a convention where you might want to attend other panels. However, I encourage participants to use this as a motivating factor for their own writing, and remember that the only two ways to &lsquo;fail&rsquo; the workshop are to not participate or not learn anything. Still, take this into consideration when considering whether to sign up for this workshop.</p>
