Completing your assessment
What am I required to do on this assessment?

Many creative writing assessments are composed of two elements – a work of fiction and
reflection about writing that work of fiction. Different modules may deviate from this
format, but, as a rule, you’ll find this approach behind all the presentations and other
packages you’re asked to put together.
The key to success in this module is planning. To succeed in the presentation before
Christmas, you need to understand what your project is about and have discussed the
project with your supervisor. This discussion and your decision making during the first term
can be used as evidence of your project’s development during the presentation.
By the beginning of term 2 successful students will have a first draft of their creative piece
which they can develop, using formative feedback with their tutors during the term. By the
end of the term, successful students will have ideated, researched, written and edited an
original creative work and they will be in a position write an illuminating reflective essay
exploring the important aspects of the project.

will also build vital skills for the assessment, which may include technical close reading of
