Writing 12 (Online Supported and Print), version 02 (4 credits)
(Creative Writing)

The development of the course takes into account individual needs and student interests. There are no tests. Standing will be granted on the basis of the quality of work during the course.

The difficulty presented by a senior creative writing course requires the student to have strong English skills.

Therefore, it is recommended that students should have at least a C+ grading in an English course at the Grade 11 level.

Students should also be aware it will take approximately 100–120 hours to complete Writing 12, as it is a full-year course.
