Hi everybody,
Creative practice outcomes:
I'm fine with these. One thing, "use of language" at the end of c ("Evidence of sophistication in style, form and use of language") makes it sound to me as if we couldn't think of anything else to add after style and form so gave up and said something catch-all. Could we say something like "Evidence of sophistication in the literary uses of language, e.g. style and form." Or "Demonstrates sophistication in style, form, and other aspects of literary language."
Practical criticism:
I think we should go with Keith's changes, using "Demonstrates." "Mastery" appears in C 2 a also -- we could change that one to "competence."
I'm attaching a version that incorporates the above as well as Keith's and Margaret's changes and a few minor mechanical edits.
