Course is great, very clear and focused tips to improve one's writing. The peer-review is not that good and there is no instructor's evaluation and feedback. I understand that would be a lot of work.

I have always been an avid reader. I took this class to familiarize myself with the techniques behind plot development. I would highly recommend this course, and the creative writing specialization.

Un curso muy completo y enfocado a principiantes. Se recomienda usar grupos de whatsapp con los estudiantes que puedas para compartir tareas

Good course. Got chance to read some interesting stories while reviewing peers. Discovered what I was doing wrong while writing stories.

I only wish that the videos would be longer, have a better production quality, I'd like to see not only slides but also videos, etc.

Peer-reviewed assignments get you little to no constructive feedback, but it is a lot of work to review other people's assignments.

SerÃa bueno que durante los assignments desde un principio se estableciera un solo texto para irlo mejorando a lo largo del curso.

It was a good learning method and I appreciate the lessons and the invited speakers that share so greatly from their experience.

This is giving me a methodology and moved me more towards enriching my characters and showing the story as opposed to telling it

I enjoyed the structured assignments that provided prompts and especially liked the guests who joined the course along the way.

The course instruction helped me develop my story more clearly. I do wish that there was some review other than just by peers.

Love this resource and Brando and his colleagues. Would have enjoyed longer videos sometimes, they were always pretty short.

A good start with pressing home the key to making scenes interesting: ABDCE. A little too wide a net in the editing rubric.

Clear and concise. Instructional. The only thing that I hope is to get more examples from the course except explanations.

I liked the ABDCE formula. It directed my thoughts and ultimately enabled my story to take a more satisfying direction.

The content is interesting, but not rich enough for a course. I finished all the videos and assignments in only 2 days.

content is exclllent but i found some of the peer assesment wasn't as constructive/helpful as i would have liked.

I would have preferred to also get feedback from the course instructor. The peer reviews were sometimes wanting.

Brando was excellent in specifying the methodological way of writing stories. Thanks for the 21 point checklist!

Short, pithy descriptions; to the point advice/ suggestions with leeway to alter the structure. Worth the time.
