AustLit

A practice-based course in cross-generic writing, this course builds on foundations in the analysis and writing of creative texts. You will have experimented with a range of writing genres in Level 1 and 2 Writing courses. You will develop research methodologies associated with documentation, sourcing your own material. As a Level 3 course this course will provide a sustained opportunity for you to improve and extend your writing skills and to work on a larger writing project based on your own original research. You will be introduced to the theoretical issues associated with fictocriticism and cross-generic writing, and analyse key sample texts from this field. The course will provide for more in-depth workshopping than a Level 2 course. This course aims to foster a peer-centred co-operative learning process which encourages you to take responsibility for your own development and learning.
