Honours subject – 400 level

This is an advanced subject for students in the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Communication. The subject is intended to deepen both technical and aesthetic understanding of the student's own creative practice and to open up a place for inquiry and informed reflection into the contemporary contexts of writing. Students are asked to engage with various items in a group of specially chosen works selected from a repertoire of innovative approaches in fiction, poetry, script, online writing, critical writing and multimedia. Students must produce their own creative work as a major part of the workshop's activities. They receive and provide productive feedback on work-in-progress, and explore aspects of contemporary writing practice and theory that are directly related to and challenge their own practice. Students are also expected to relate research in this subject to the design of their thesis project unit and to explore significant critical relationships between recognised, successful, contemporary creative practice and their own contribution to the Honours thesis project.
