True Lies? 1997 Survey of Creative Writing Students

What do students expect to get out of Creative Writing courses? Do they really understand what is being offered? Steve Evans and Kate Deller-Evans have surveyed students undertaking Creative Writing study in Adelaide either as a component of an undergraduate English course or through a postgraduate course focusing entirely on Creative Writing. Why did these students enroll in Creative Writing and how did their reasons differ? What do the results of the survey indicate for the way in which such courses are offered and received? Evans and Deller-Evans reveal whether the students’ expectations are being met and consider the effect on future Creative Writing courses.
