About the Course

Your style is as unique and distinctive as your face, your voice, except that you can choose it, you can can work on it, enhance it. In this course we will introduce aspiring writers to the art of putting pressure on written language. We will study the use of metaphor and imagery, and demonstrate how clarity, grace, and inventiveness in word choice are imperative to a story’s success. Writers will emerge with the revision skills essential to all writers of good stories and good prose....

Great class for the content I needed. I audited this class and benefited from the theory discussion and practical exercises. The class guided me to improve my writing style which was my ultimate goal.

Lessons were well done, good mix of teaching and illuminating discussion between accomplished writers. Exercises are creative and well thought out. Feedback from classmates is generally helpful.

The lecturer was good and provided useful information... however. There are at least two psychopaths taking this course specifically to type "????" in the peer review boxes and then give you a failing note. I had to submit the same prose (which, if you wonder, adhered to the assignment guidelines) at least three times before finally get a passing grade. If you will be taking this course, I suggest you to sleep with one eye open because you will have to do a lot of resubmitting. The worst part is there is nothing to do against these "anonymous learners" - no report feature, nothing at all. Infuriating, annoying and honestly makes you think, why bother?

The lectures were unclear as well as the instructions from the instructor I was disappointed.
