Each week will comprise:
two two-hour tutor-led workshops (7–9pm UK, Monday & Friday);
one-hour weekly peer feedback session (7.30–8.30pm UK, Wednesday); and
a scheduled half hour individual tutorial on a Tuesday or Thursday, where you can discuss your work one-on-one with that week’s tutor. The programme is designed around a weekly tutor rotation. You will receive two weeks of teaching and tutorials from each tutor.
Workshops and tutorials will be delivered via Zoom and you will have access to a dedicated classroom space on Padlet, where you will be able to access course materials and ask any questions.
We believe in the importance of peer community and feedback. You will have access to a Padlet board where you can share poems, feedback and discussion with the other members of your cohort, and will have the opportunity to join a WhatsApp group of students.
Workshops are recorded and the recordings will be made available to you, password-protected on our Vimeo, the day after each session. At the end of the course you will receive a handout collating all the course materials, as well as links to the session recordings, to revisit in future.
Course delivery is wholly online. We welcome applications from students anywhere in the world, but applicants should note that all teaching is provided in evenings UK time.
