Writers, I a currently at university doing a creative writing course....?

We Answered:

If you disagree with your tutors' views on writing, then you have a fantastic opportunity - just think how much debate you can generate for your course.
I take it you will be required to complete some critical essays as well as write creatively, so put your creativity into responding to their prejudices or the institution's orthodoxies and give them both barrels.
I found that when I did my degree and masters, picking a small element - I REALLY LIKED mistakes or potential misunderstandings - resulted in more interesting essays provided they were rigourously researched and referenced.
Disagreeing with your tutors dousn't mean you will get bad marks. Simply considering they are wrong because you have to do stuff you don't like isn't sufficient. We all have to study stuff we don't like so we get a full range and flavour of the subject.
What you MUST do is show them why your views are valid and worthy of investigation, even if they don't agree they are wrong.
I think they would respond to that more than you telling them they are wrong. After all, what makes you think that you are right if they are not? It's difficult, isn't it?
However, if you produce something different and exciting compared to the cloned postmodern - google-packed - essays they have to filter every week, you will get a bit more attention and a few Brownie points.

Ron Said:

Which British University does the best creative writing course?

We Answered:

The University of Warwick does a good course and has a great reputation for creative writing. I applied there myself and had to send in a portfolio of my work but out of 500 applicants there were only about 8 places so sadly I didn't get in! Never mind, I now work as a writer :)
