Hands-on Learning Assignment (HLA)
As part of the English major curriculum, majors will be required to complete a hands-on learning assignment, or HLA, involving writing in one of the following contexts:
- The Comenian (Moravian’s student newspaper): a feature article or other piece assigned by the editor(s);
- The Â鶹¹û¶³ Marketing and Communications Office: campus and community-wide blog post, newsletter article, press release, or other piece assigned by a member of the Marketing staff;
- The Â鶹¹û¶³ Theatre Company : program notes or other dramaturgical materials, as assigned by the director.
- The Center for Career and Civic Engagement: newsletter article or other work assigned by the director.
English majors who are also pursuing certification in Â鶹¹û¶³ will be exempt from this requirement but are encouraged to complete HLAs as well.
