Academic content
- Purpose
- Students learn to work independently and critically with individual writing projects, to develop their own style of writing, and to identify their distinct voice in writing.
- Learning outcomes
- Students who successfully complete the course should be able to: - demonstrate a development in their own creative writing (produce text portfolio) - demonstrate examples of original/independent writing (text portfolio) - discuss, with reflective perspective, their own writing and creative process - critically assess the strengths and weaknesses of their own texts - identify characteristics of their own written work
- Content
- The course is a continuation of Independent Work II - Creative writing. Like in the previous course, the emphasis is on in-depth work with individual texts that students write and develop over the course of the semester and submit for class readings as part of the course. The focus will be text reading and text critique. Relevant primary texts will also be read (for example: essays, poetics, theory on creative writing, prose and poetry) with special emphasis on reflections on and awareness of the process of students own writing.
- Learning and teaching approaches
- Teaching spans 3 hours a week over one semester with a prefixed plan for text submissions throughout the course. In class, the students’ own works are discussed and developed through critical conversations collectively and individually. Active participation: the course requires 80% class attendance and text submissions at required deadlines. Active participation is a prerequisite for students to attend examination.
