Oh but to fuel imagination, many students need somewhere to start! I think it is wrong also to assume all students have the same amount of knowledge when it comes to writing - and this is a writing course after all, there needs to be some time for reflection and new learning, it is not all about thrills.

I also don't think what the first assignment is here in level two has any bearing on students coming up from level one, as they can't even see what the level offers till they get here!
