Each month students do the following: (1) they do extensive creative writing and revision in response to detailed feedback from faculty advisors; (2) they complete brief annotated bibliographies based on assigned reading; and (3)they write short critical essays based on issues of craft or topics of interest that arose from their own creative work or from assigned reading.
