Learner Reviews & Feedback for Creative Writing: The Craft of Character by Wesleyan University

The assignments tend to be very confusing, I understand that they make sense for making characters, the difficulty might just be with the characters, but they are quite confusing.

Coursera technology should improve since many people don't take the critiques seriously, and there's no way to measure someone who just writes 'yes' in every box.

I liked this class, but would have gotten more out of it had there been less conversation videos. I like some direct lecture to cement new knowledge.

This was a good course that helped me broaden my POV writing style, though the assignments were difficult to do, and one was difficult to understand.

I found the content useful but was irritated by how parochial the references to other writers were. There is a big wide world outside of the USA!

Good, challenging exercises. Would have liked more structure in the lectures and more specific tips that could be related to the assignments.

A well thought out course that was very illuminating. Not sure about the complexity of week 2's assignment, but overall good value.

I found this course less informative than the Craft of Plot. A lot of the assignments seemed to have little to do with the videos.

I liked it overall, though there were some glitches and I was hoping that there'd be at least some feedback from course organizer.

I loved this course, but sometimes the assignments weren't quite clear. Apart from that, the teacher is genius and it's great.

Even though I enjoyed the course, I found the description of the assignments sometimes very confusing and lacking in details.

A helpful overall look at character but not particularly deep, still useful even for a refresher when writing something new

The material is interesting and relevant. I found the assignments challenging and the review questions slightly lengthy.

Very good course..i loved the way the instructor handed this course.Especially,i felt the tips she had given were Gold.

I would like to have notes from the teachers as well (not just from the students).Some further ideas or highlights.

good exercises, opend to questions and organized but with a lack of diversity in the ways they explain concepts

the assignment descriptions are very confusing so I'd recommend looking into the forums for help. decent videos

Enjoyed the lectures, but the assignments were poorly explained and definitely could have been better.

This course is very informative, however, I do wish that quizzes were a part of these courses.

The course could have been delivered better, but I enjoyed the challenging assignments.

I learned a lot. It was an interesting course and gave a glimpse into whole new world.

A little boring at times but lots of valuable information on how to build a character.

Great course, but I do wish the actual instructors gave their feedback on your work.

Muy buen curso, te da todas las herramientas básicas para crear tu personaje
