Very helpful for writers and future career writers. Plus the professor is extremely down to earth. Was not expecting that and I forgive her for being a Duke fan. Go Tar Heels!!!! jk jk

It might just be me, but the teacher doesn't really seem to take this course seriously, nor do the peer reviewers. Many of my peers do not speak English as a first language and fail to give valuable reviews on anyone's work. And the video lectures so far have been extremely boring and unhelpful.

no me agrado mucho ya que muchos que califican quieren que escribas un libro y no les agrada tu trabajo en la forma que cada uno lo trabaja

Course is not what I envisioned. I have requested a refund via iTunes. I tried to “unenroll,” but it seems to be unavailable to me.
