What I've learned in Creative Writing.

I would be a much better creative writing teacher than my professor. God, I just have my head in my hands watching him.

I'm learning a lot in his class. I've learned nothing about writing, but a great deal on how to teach (and how not to).

First, the attitude towards the students. )

Second, professionalism. )

Third, reponsiveness and feedback. )

Fourth, that toughie, discipline. )

Fifth, preparation. )

Sixth, grading. )

Oh. [livejournal.com profile] wildernessguru wants a shot at the computer, so I'll leave it at that for now.
