How will my Feedback be Delivered?

This module is comprised of two-week clusters. In the first week of any cluster, a set text is discussed in class, and all students are expected to participate. For the second week, students bring to class a piece of creative writing that clones the qualities of the text discussed the preceding week. Feedback will be given, by peers and by the tutor, on these samples of creative writing.
