Writing Courses at the University of Toronto

Much of the writing you will do at the University of Toronto has been carefully integrated into courses that focus on disciplinary knowledge rather than on the process of writing. But the University of Toronto also provides a wide range of writing courses, both credit and non-credit, designed specifically to help you develop your writing skills.

Undergraduate Credit Courses and Programs

There are several options for undergraduate students interested in taking a composition course:

Students may take courses in the following three college programs :

Undergraduate students interested in developing their skills in creative writing may choose from a variety of course options:

Engineering Courses

Communication is integrated into the engineering curriculum through first-year courses that establish foundations in design and communication and through upper-year courses in each department that develop the specific communication demands of those fields. Those interested in specific course offerings can refer to the academic calendar for departmental course offerings or to the Engineering Communication Program homepage.

School of Graduate Studies Non-Credit Courses

The Graduate Centre for Academic Communication (GCAC) has set up a wide range of free non-credit courses for graduate students. They offer practice and instruction in the types of oral and written communication done as part of graduate programs. Some courses are intended specifically for non-native speakers of English. Look at the course descriptions for the full range of courses that are offered. Check to see what is currently being offered, or look at the course schedule for the entire academic year. Choose the course that best suits your needs, and sign up fast — spaces are limited! Or attend a GCAC Writing Intensive , which will provide you with a dedicated time and space for intensive writing.

Graduate Work in Creative Writing

The Department of English offers an MA program in English in the Field of Creative Writing . The program draws both on the expertise of faculty at U of T and on Toronto’s writing community.

Credit Courses in English Language

U of T at Scarborough’s Center for Teaching and Learning offers credit courses that are specially designed for university students whose first language is not English. All courses require the permission of the instructor.

Non-Credit Courses in English Language

The English Language Learning Program (ELL) offers an intensive, non-credit, 8-day course focusing on scholarly reading, academic writing, critical thinking, listening, and oral presentation is offered in late summer and spring.

The Graduate Centre for Academic Communication (GCAC) offers non-credit courses aimed specifically at graduate and undergraduates students in their respective faculties.

Certificate Courses

The School of Continuing Studies offers a wide array of certificate courses both to U of T students and to the wider public on business communication, creative writing, and English as a second language. Discounts on part-time English Language Program courses apply to U of T students and postdoctoral fellows.

Courses to improve writing

Title. I'm looking to improve my writing and not get my GPA burned (I'll put in 110% effort but I can't afford a <80), are there any classes without prereqs that will help? I'm open to nonconventional writing courses too, for example I took cog psych and just writing 3 journal entries the entire semester I felt helped me a lot.

I'll definitely take a look, thank you! It's funny cause I asked what I could read to improve on r/lawschool and someone told me it's too late for that. How are they for mark distributions?

I just checked the course description for 203 and it sounds pretty intimidating. I have no idea what it means by, "competent in English". Does it mean that one must consistently get A's in essays?

I'm interested in taking it next year, but my question is, how engaging is the material... I'm afraid of dry readings or a pretentious professor. Also what's the marking scheme like?

Look up the INI (Innis) courses. They got many writing courses that will help you.

I just looked them up, they look really useful! I didn't even know these existed. Is there any specific course in particular you would recommend, also how difficult are these courses usually marked?

Also since you're in Econ, how was ECO100, I want to get a good grasp of the main non-science fields before I graduate and econ always seemed interesting.

A bonus of taking INI courses is that you get access to their writing centre, and I found them super helpful when I was writing an essay.

I have a year until I will hopefully be in law school. I feel like I desperately need to learn soft skills like essay writing, non-science related research skills, and a general understanding of the main social science topics. I have 1 more required course until I'm done all my subject post requirements so I can basically take 9 electives next year. Not that I'm not self motivated but I think courses set you on the right track very efficiently.

Anyone specifically?

There's a campus-wide writing instruction program called WIT (writing instruction by TAs), that's working with about 20 departments. They give TAs special pedagogical training and work with instructors to design courses and assignments that are heavy on writing and that use fairly innovative teaching methods. Ask whatever dept you're interested in if they have any WIT courses.

Welcome to the writing life at The Chang School!

Laurel’s Story

When Laurel Croza arrived at Toronto Metropolitan University's True to Life memoir writing class (CWWR 336) , she had never attempted any creative writing.

The manuscript was accepted for publication by Groundwood Books. In June 2010, her book I Know Here won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Excellence in Children’s Literature. Her second book, From There to Here , was published by Groundwood Books in 2014. Congratulations, Laurel!

Course Series Requirements

Successful completion of 3 required courses (totalling a minimum of 60 hours)

Each of our ten-week courses is made up of ten modules. In each module, we work together on a new aspect of the writing craft. There is no long lecture to read. Instead, the module offers thinking points and discussion points, followed by an exercise. You respond online, your classmates read what you say/write and respond to it, and the instructor gives feedback. There is a short homework assignment each week.

In ten weeks, we cover all the key elements of the genre. In addition, we invite an online guest (publisher/editor) who will answer your questions about the world of publishing and editing.

Participation and Sense of Community

You are expected to comment on the assignments of others, and in turn, they (and the instructor) will comment on and critique your posted work. The atmosphere is good-humoured and collegial, and there is no shortage of jokes and off-the-cuff observations, just as there would be in an earthbound classroom. In the final modules, you will have a chance to post a full draft of a story or travel article.

Bethâs courses at the University of Toronto Winner, 2012 Excellence in Teaching Award, Creative Writing, U of T School of Continuing Studies.

I taught âTrue to Life: Writing Your Own Story” at Ryerson University for 26 years, until Covid shut us down in 2020. Since 2007 and ongoing, I have taught “Life Stories I and II” at the University of Toronto. The course currently runs Tuesday afternoons on Zoom, so is open to students from around the world. It works extremely well on Zoom. www.learn.utoronto.ca

“Life Stories I” is for anyone, both experienced and inexperienced, interested in finding inspiration, structure, and support for their personal writing. “Life Stories II,” which runs only sometimes in the winter term, is for writers who have taken Life Stories I and wish to continue.

The course explores the kind of writing I love and write myself: creative non-fiction, specifically memoir and personal essay.

Some of my students have never written a single âcreativeâ word, a few have been published but are now stuck, and most are somewhere in between â they have always wanted to write or wrote when younger but stopped, and they need structure, encouragement, and practical feedback.

It’s my job to help them find their most vital stories, the courage and discipline to get the stories down, and the technique to make their narratives compelling for others to read.

Although, for me, students have achieved success when they find satisfaction in their writing work, thereâs another kind of success story that makes me proud â stuffed in a large box in my officeÂ areÂ published books, essays in anthologies, magazines, and newspapers, and even writing prizes won by my students.

If you’re interested in studying with me and have questions, please get in touch via the Contacts page on this website.

Student Writing

Below are some stories by a cross-section of former students who have continued working with me. (Each story is copyrighted by the author and cannot be reproduced without the authorâs permission.)

Sick by R. S. Croft R.S. Croft is a pseudonym for a writer who today lives drug-free, supports herself as a stripper, and sends powerful bulletins from a world we rarely encounter in prose.

The Bad Day by Kate Gallant That Kate Gallant is a gifted comic actress shows in her writing, which begs to be read out loud.

Hating Your Thighs & Brunch #1: Arrivals and Departures by Jessica Harris Jessica Harris, whose essay in the anthology âWedding Dressesâ was singled out for praise, here explores heartache with her usual wry honesty.

On Becoming 40 by Gillian Kerr Gillian Kerrâs story âTiny Tomatoes,â written for her class at Ryerson, was chosen for the third âDropped Threadsâ anthology.Â She writes with rare transparency and candor.

Inside 229 by Sylvia Knight Sylvia Knight has written a funny and moving memoir of her entire life, from a very early memory of her childhood home in Torontoâs Beach neighborhood, printed here, to now, in her seventies.

Pat by Elizabeth Marsh Elizabeth Marsh writes with unsentimental precision and grace about her family homestead in the Ottawa valley, then and now.

Adrianâs Bucket by Gerry Withey Gerry Withey is both a busy visual artist and a perceptive, original and lucid writer.

Lingua Fantastica: A Shale Project Writer’s Co-op Workshop

Begin Again: A Poet-in-Community Workshop with Ronna Bloom

How do you plug back into your power when you’re running low? Where does the energy come from? Do you need a poetry infusion, a bit of support, a burst of brightness?

Ronna Bloom is a poet and teacher. Her most recent book, The More (Pedlar Press, 2017) was longlisted for the City of Toronto Book Award. Her poems have been recorded by the CNIB, and have been translated into Spanish, Bangla, and Chinese.

Be Good to Yourself, Whoever You Are with Ronna Bloom

In this workshop with U of T’s poet-in-community Ronna Bloom, through the use of poems and prompts, participats wrote and reflected on what sustains them, what they love and what they need, taking this time for themselves as a flicker of possibility of how they might take time for themselves in general. Keep an eye out for more workshops with Ronna Bloom coming up!

The Worldbuilding of Wakanda: Black Panther and Afrofuturism

As part of the Hart House Black Futures series, the Writer’s Co-op Worldbuilding of Wakanda panel with speakers Antoine Bandele , Stephanie Chrismon , and Rashid Mohiddin explored how elements of science fiction and fantasy intersect with African representation, and the way setting interacts with theme in Black Panther.

Intentional Worldbuilding: Creating a Fictional World

Over the course of three weeks, Writer’s Co-op favorites Avi Silver and Sienna Tristen, creators of multimedia storytelling platform The Shale Project , ran this workshop series focused on navigating the complexities of building a fictional world from the ground-up.

Decent Exposure Workshops: Our First Journal is Up!

Check out our end-of-year journal for the Decent Exposure Workshop Series! This collaboration between the English MA Creative Writing students and the Writers’ Co-op was a joy to produce.

From Language, Life!: Worldbuilding Workshops

The worldbuilding workshops we hosted in February 2020 were jam-packed with information on the creation of settings, cultures, and entire worlds. Led by authors Avi Silver and Sienna Tristen, we created our own worlds from the ground up, beginning with geography and ending with language. The workshops were joyful and insightful, and prompted us to consider the structures, symbols, and quirks of our own cultures. More worldbuilding is coming next year. Visit Avi and Sienna’s own world called Shale here: http://www.welcometoshale.com/

Workshops with Ronna Bloom

Poet in Community, Ronna Bloom, has joined us regularly to host our end-of-semester workshops. Her workshops are personal and cathartic, as everyone is encouraged to share and discuss as we move through writing prompts tailored to the workshops’ themes. Sessions are open to the public.
