A very interesting course which makes you understand more about poetry.

Also, a lot of new vocabulary to learn especially for non-native English speakers.

This course had opened many ways for me to look at poems and writings more profoundly. Thank you so much sir and the team from enhancing and helping us. ❤

I really enjoyed the course it was a great experience with poetry. I already used to write poems but this course gave me a better sense about the poetry.

Great course, awesome instructor. Learned a lots of poetry techniques. Recommended to everyone who is interested or want to sharpen their poetry writing.

I took this course to help me do better at writing stories and crafting language. I feel that the lessons and exercises in this course really helped me.

This was a fun and delightful learning experience! Douglas Kearney is such a phenomenal instructor: funny, intelligent, and highly engaging. Thank you!!

Such an eye opener course.

Beautifully presented.

The whole course was a poetry by itself :)

Thank you Doug - California Institute of the Arts - Coursera

Really straight-forward but surprisingly thorough introduction to poetry analysis and creation. I'm also a fan of corny jokes, so all-in-all a success.

This is a great and useful course to learn about poetry. Professor Dough taught very precisely and clearly. Enjoyed it and learned many things from it.

Well the method of teaching is best in any of the moocs ever. He is a ventriloquist and when you listen to him its not like studying but entertainment.

Doug was a great teacher. He was funny, and used things like objects and imagery to help me understand the course content better. I loved this course.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was fun, interactive. and gets you to jump right in and write your own poetry. Worthwhile course for any writer!

The best poetry course I could have asked for, clear and crisp lessons. You can apply what you have learnt. And amazing community and teacher Douglas

Excellent class! It's helping me to become a better writer! The professor was very energetic and enthusiastic about the material. I truly enjoyed it!

Fantastic! I am so grateful that I received the fundamentals of creating poetry from this class! The instructor was very knowledgeable and funny...

This was a great course with some really fun, interesting, and useful strategies for both improving your own poetry, as well as appreciating others.

Wow! This course just keeps blowing my mind away. There is so much to learn and so many opportunities to help you improve your writing. Thanks Doug!

I learned so much in this course. It's a great basic course, and I was able to create a couple of poems from the exercises. It was very worthwhile.

Excellent poetry examples and prompts-- and fun! I am amazed how such a large workshop can have a personal touch. Thank you for this helpful class!

Very well structured - engaging videos - good feedbacks to build on - everyone is really passionate about poetry in this course, it is contagious!!

This course was a lot of fun. Great for beginners, yet fun and interesting and a way to kickstart people who may not have written poetry in awhile.

I truly enjoyed this course. It was fun, and still filled with useful information that guided students to the best outcome possible. Great course!

I found the week on revision especially useful. I've saved the prompts on rhyme and rhythm that I didn't do because they look like good exercises.

The professor is really passionate and knnowledgable. The course content is packed yet digestable. I have learned a lot. Very rewarding and fun.

A very entertaining and easy course to take, with important tips to be able to create your first poem, excellent material and teacher. Thank you.
