Creative Writing Final Exam This is not your typical final exam.  Rather than answering multiple-choice questions, you will write a 750-800 word self-assessment explaining what you’ve learned about writing creatively and about yourself as a writer this semester.  Also discuss your plans for writing creatively in the future. Be sure to refer to specific assignments, discussions, and critiques that have helped you grow as a writer. You should type your response in Microsoft Word, then copy and paste it into the text box provided before submitting it.  This will allow you to check the word count and utilize the Review feature in MS Word to check for spelling, grammar, clarity, and style errors.
