The professor and tasks were very engaging. I truly looked forward to tuning in and working through the lessons and assignments. My interest in poetry is further stoked and I can't wait to learn more.

This was a superb workshop. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and learned a lot that came in my way. Grasping poetry devices taught in such an fun way was really awesome. The mentors were very supportive.

A great workshop to learn the basis of poetry and to start writing and sharing your poems. The clases are fun and the people really kind

Would have been more beneficial if there were instructor review instead of the review from peers that just responded n/a to everything.

Loved the short but sharp classes! Thank you! Would love to see more peer reviews (didn't get any on my poems yet).
Best of luck!

It was a really nice experience.
The teacher is awesome.
The only thing is that my certificate is written in Chinese characters.

This is a good course. I think that having a calendar where you can view all your due dates for the course would be awesome!!

Peer reviews can be a gamble. But the professor is excellent. Helpful to get started with poetry or get over writer's block.

Really helpful to take class, but the reviews from some students were not always accurate and it got mixed up sometimes.

Doug is excellent. Section 6 was not helpful. Some of the other studens' submissions were confusing.
