Typically, two or three stories or chapters are submitted during a semester; revisions are usually required. Workshop participants also submit detailed critiques of their fellow students' writing. Nonfiction Workshop - 490.670 These general workshops give students extensive experience in writing and revising their factual work, regardless of topic or form. Submissions are critiqued by peers as well as by the instructor. Students typically submit two to four essays, articles, or book chapters. Revisions, exercises, and readings also are required.

Eliot, two giants who locked horns for forty years and whose disagreements have gone a very long way toward shaping literature in their own era and ever since.
