What kinds of classes do students take?
Rather than taking classes that focus on different topics, the 84 students in the workshop are randomly divided up into individual workshop sections of 12 students each. The groups are heterogeneous in terms of age and gender. Each section is led by a workshop leader, and the students and faculty member then work together as a group throughout the three weeks. By getting to know one another well, students and teachers develop a sense of camaraderie that allows them to feel comfortable taking risks with their writing and thinking as well as sharing it with others in the group.
