Trust, privacy, and respect are central pillars in a creative writing classroom, enabling everyone to experiment more freely as creators and critical thinkers. To secure a trusting bond with classmates and to maintain a unified cohort, please do not disclose, publish or use any classmate’s personal information, ideas, or creative work outside of class without the expressed consent of that individual. At the same time, use care and restraint when sharing a classmate’s personal information, ideas, and creative work within the class itself and, in special circumstances, consider whether permission from that individual may be necessary ahead of time.
