The course book contains clear instruction and outline of expectation; exercises and assignments to help students to develop their own creative style and voice, and instructions on keeping a ‘learning journal’ for reflection and critical appraisal. Students have considerable flexibility as to the style and content of their assignments. There is no pre-set order for the units – which is intended as a flexible resource enabling tutor and student to explore aspects of the creative process in the order which seems most appropriate to the individual. The learning experience is two-fold: the course book offering a solid framework and the tutor/student one-to-one relationship offering structure and direction.
