It is a condition for participation that the student is enrolled on Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts.

Students will gain insight into theoretical thinking and methods in creative writing and learn to use this knowledge and these methods in their own writing craft.

This course is a continuation of Workshop I Creative Writing. The teaching will focus on both theory and craft. The students will develop their writing skills through writing exercises, and various theories on creative writing will be examined. The students will examine, for example, how to use different sources of inspiration in the writing process, and how theory can be used to describe their own writing process.

Teaching spans 3 hours a week over one semester. The approach used is workshop-based teaching with exercises, discussions, lectures and presentations.

Students who successfully complete the course can demonstrate ability to: - explain theoretical approaches and methods in creative writing, - discuss these critically, - demonstrate examples of how their own writing methods have developed (produce a portfolio).
