Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Students will be encouraged to work autonomously, and to lead and direct classes. The techniques of the teaching, reading and writing studied at Levels 4 and 5 will be synthesised into writing a portfolio that should be the best possible showcase for the student's writing, accompanied by a reflection that examines their creative processes and what they have learned in both providing and applying feedback. Students will examine areas of writerly concern and interest at an advanced level, developing an understanding of where theory meets practice and examining how this has influenced their creative work.
