During the course students will improve upon their skills as a writer, learning how to identify and fix common writing problems such as issues with:
-pacing
-plot
-character development
-dialogue
-sentence structure. 
In addition, they will learn how to workshop with their peers and give constructive criticism.
By the end of the course students will have a completed portfolio showcasing their abilities as a writer.

宿題が提供されます
During the first 5 weeks there will be some writing time that will take place outside of class. Students will probably not be able to finish the stories they are working on during class time, and will be expected to finish at least 10 of them as homework. 
The 10 completed stories chosen for revision should be no more than 4 typed pages each (maximum). They will be due during week 6. 

Over the next 5 weeks students will need to read their classmates’ work and record their feedback. This will also take place outside of class so that class time can be spent discussing the story.

On the last day of class, completed portfolios will be due.
授業以外に週あたり 2 - 4 時間の学習が期待されます
評価が提供されます
Students will send their completed portfolios to me at the end of the course for evaluation, and I will then give each student a personalized informal assessment of their work, their revisions, and their overall progress over the 12 weeks.
