Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| By engaging and experimenting with a range of particular poetic or narrative practices and ideas, students will be encouraged to develop their own creative awareness and skills. By analysis of the work of others, as well as their own, they will not only enhance their critical capacities and their faculty of self-assessment, but learn how to support other writers in their development. |
Assessment Information
| A portfolio of work submitted at the end of the semester deriving from topics addressed in the seminar series: either prose fiction not less than 8,000 and not more than 10,000 words; or poetry c. 15 pages. Presentation of own work at least twice in the semester. |
