Seminars meet once a week for three hours, with enrollment limited to 16. Students devote about six hours a week to class preparation. Every week or two, students submit assignments, which the professor critiques during mandatory one-on-one writing conferences. Professors often invite guest speakers and arrange a class visit to a newspaper or magazine.
Innovative and cross-disciplinary proposals are encouraged. Many seminars fall under one of these broad course rubrics: - The Literature of Fact
- Investigative Journalism
- Writing about Racial Justice
- Data Journalism
- Writing about the Environment
- Covering Politics
- International News
- Audio Journalism
- Visual Journalism
- Writing about (Culture, Film, Ideas, Law, etc.)
Full-time visiting professors take a formal leave from daily journalism to devote themselves to teaching. They must be on campus four full days a week, on average; attend all faculty gatherings; and participate in University life. They give talks, participate in panels, advise students, and join in events.
Part-time visiting professors must spend two full days, on average, on campus each week for the 12-week term, as well as during the week of Reading Period. Part-time professors are expected to attend faculty gatherings whenever possible. | Essential qualifications: - Applicants should have achieved distinction in journalism or other kinds of non-fiction writing
