Overview
Module aims and purpose
By means of a weekly two-hour workshop, this module will provide you with the opportunity to conceive, research and develop a creative writing project in your chosen genre. This work, in its final state, will form part of your dissertation portfolio. You will keep notes of weekly responses to work in progress by fellow students, and your responses to their critical assistance with your own. These notes will form part of a working journal in which you will exemplify and reflect on鈥攃onsidering influences, research, and reading鈥攖he conception, planning, and initial development of your creative project. You will also have two opportunities to meet your academic mentor for your project, who will also be your workshop leader. You will produce, to be Included in the working journal, an outline plan and a bibliography of research towards your project. You will also give a brief aural project presentation as part of the assessment for this module.聽
