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!

Liked the way Doug made poetry accessible and fun to write. His enthusiasm and knowledge really made the course worth sticking with.

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.

i find this course highly helpful to learn new aspects of poetry, embrace new thoughts and new ideas to write upon.

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

Some good ideas to progress your poems. Could be more interaction between participants.

Gently entertaining introduction to writing poetry with some good examples and advice.

This is a great, short, introductory poetry course. I learned a lot. Go Cal Arts !

Nothing too complex

Yet full of ideas

It will get you started

Without shedding tears

This course challenged me to think in ways I hadn't before (that's a good thing).

Nice experience. Very good and useful course to the English beginning poets

Great course! Recommend everyone who wants to write poetry to take this up!

Very interesting and thought provoking. I found the instructor amusing.

I enjoyed the ideas, but the peer feedback was less than helpful.

It's an alright poetry workshop, the best free one on Coursera.

Nice Course. Gave good insights and motivation to write poems

The prof is engaging, but it was not the course I needed.

I enjoyed every bit of this course, great teaching

I am finding it really interesting and helpful. :)

Informative and creatively challenging.
