Instructor is not very good

Helpful, but not very much.

To be completely honest I don't think I gained much from this class. There was barely any applicable theory presented that I could use in my writing or assignments. The course primarily consisted of shop talks and the professor reading examples from other authors, with minimal actual teaching. Moreover, the video lectures really did not grab my attention. Compared to the first module (The Craft of Plot), from which I feel that I learned way more, this course was poorly constructed. The content barely touched on character development and offered no practical advice on creating believable characters, only repetitive insights from other authors. Additionally, the peer-review process was extremely frustrating. Many participants provided unhelpful feedback, often just random strings of characters like "acfijkfcdscj." While the course has great potential, it needs significant improvements in these areas. As it stands, it feels like a waste of money.

The instructors are fine......the review process is not. There is no input from an instructor and the reviews by persons in the course are very spotty: one or two are by people who know what they are doing, but a good number are not. In my last assignment, my review was total jibberish and I had spent many hours on the assignment.

The peer review is terrible. Many trolls and disinterested people. They didn`t engage, didn`t provide feedback and didn`t even make the slightest value judgment in peer-review.
