This was such a wonderful course. I got to learn a lot about strange lands, imaginative description etc. Generally how to set my world and describe it in a convincing manner. I totally recommend it.

I have a suggestion. The week 4 assignment has blunt questions for peer review. They seem to ask same things over and over.
