General description

The aim of the course is for students to develop their powers of expression in written English via the medium of creative writing and to understand how they can produce various responses in the reader.

Learning outcomes

Students will

- produce a body of original writing in English.
- produce an analysis of their own writing in which they explain their objectives and how they achieved them.
- learn how to review creative writing critically and to discuss their critical evaluations clearly.

In addition, students will be encouraged to publish their work online and to organize and participate in a public reading of work produced on the course.
