Tufts University: Joe Hurka - English - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccess
Joe Hurka | ENG005 - Creative Writing | English2006-03-27

Review:
Professor Hurka is a great guy and a great writing professor; he has real advice about how to improve your writing, and he seems genuinely interested in how to get your writing published. Out of all of the writing classes I've taken over the years, I have my best work from this course.

Workload:
The workload is really minimal. There are only two stories you have to write--and one of them is less than 500 words. There is a little bit of reading towards the beginning of the course, but it's okay not to do it ahead of time because he lets you read the short stories in class. The "final" is just an improved version of your stories.
