- Course objectives
- This course acquaints its students with the rudimentary practices of creative writing. Special emphasis is placed on practical exercises which can be used in teaching practice or for one's own creative writing. At the end of the course the students will have created and revised an original fictional work. Consequently, the course involves a lot of writing, much of which is done in class.
