Mentor conversations - Creative Writing

10

Students must be enrolled on the Bachelor in Creative Arts programme.

The aim of this course is to support, develop and strengthen students in working with their own writing. In consultation with the programme leader, the student chooses a mentor, who will guide the student in their writing and provide the student with tools to produce written works.

Together the mentor and student will draw up a plan for the semester with deadlines for text submissions. Through conversations with the mentor, text reading and critique the student will work to distinguish and develop their own written work and style.

The mentor and student will meet 10 hours in total in the course of one semester. The approach is individual conversations in which the student’s written work is discussed and developed. In addition to the student’s own texts, the mentor and student will read other literary material, which is intended as inspiration for the student’s writing.

Students who successfully complete the course can demonstrate ability to: - explain their own creative methods of writing - identify and discuss the distinctive features of their own writing with regards to style, form, genre and inspirations - demonstrate development in their own writing (produce portfolio)

Portfolio (10-15 pages) + reflection (7 standard pages, 2.400 characters with spaces pr. page)
