I'm actually writing my first TV series pilot. This is the furthest I've ever gotten. I love this course. Thanks to David Wheeler, everyone at Michigan State University and Coursera for making this accessible to so many. Sending tons of gratitude from Daniella Horsford.

This was one of the best experiences I ever had. It was truly amazing to see my script come together bit by bit, with every piece a story in itself. I would highly recommend this course to everyone out there who loves to write. It just gives you so much satisfaction.

I learned what a cold open was, writing a show bible, formatting a screenplay, development of characters, and breaking down my script into acts. Kept me engaged with homework and the reviewing of the work of fellow peers. Will absolutely be taking this course again.

I really enjoyed the writing process! I had had an idea for a series for quite some time so I think this just helped me push me to actually write it - and taught me how to write it, as I knew nothing about scripts before. Very happy I decided to take the course.

This course has some useful insights about writing a screenplay, which I'd never heard before. The best part is that you actually get to work on something concrete. This course gives you a chance of coming up with a script, and polishing it well with feedback.

I was surprised that we don't suppose to learn about writing scripts. Because the best way to learn is to write the script. It wasn't easy for me as not a native speaker. But I finished it! I recommend this course! Jan is the best mentor! Thank you very much!

Un gran curso. Te enseña todas las habilidades básicas que necesitas si estás interesado en el mundo del guionismo. El profesor imparte con maestría cada uno de los temas, el curso es ameno e interesante y cada tarea asignada pone a prueba tus habilidades.

Thanks to this course I was able to finish my pilot episode , edit and now i'm looking for literary managers ! Highly recommend to anyone who can't afford a university and screenwriting is the field they want to study in. You get as much as you put out!

I really enjoyed this course, though I felt on my last submission I would have liked feedback from someone knowledgeable from Michigan state not just peers. However I am aware this is probably not feasible given that it is a free course.

Excellent course. It has really brought out the script writer in me. The lecturing is simple and easy to grasp. I'm so glad I took the challenge and now I am certified. I feel so confident in my skills now. Thank you for this course!

Thanks to this course I found out that I was capable of writing fiction and actually finishing it. :) I tried several times to write fiction before, but I never finish them. Will be pursuing the other screenwriting course. Thank you!

It was a great opportunity to create something new. I know it needs revision for improvement, but the base story is ready. The methodology of carrying out weekly activities was great, as was having the story analyzed by colleagues.

The course gives enough time for students to finish their work. The videos are very helpful and I like that it's project-centered. Really pushed me to write and be creative! Would definitely take another course similar to this.

I enjoyed this class. It is very open and organic. Creativity is encouraged and very few restrictions and rules are imposed. I found the class to be well-taught and I looked forward to participating in every week of class.

This is not a class where poetry is appreciated, it is also a continual pleasure to which one can return from time to time to enter an atmosphere of exchange, reflection and new discoveries. This course should never ends :)

I learnt alot from this course and I will be using the knowledge gained to create a master piece some day in the future. I would like to thank Professor David Wheeler and mentor Jan Zurcher for such an amazing experience.

Loved it! The only thing is I wasn't able to interact with my peers, but I've learnt a great deal and have ended up with a script in hand that I can now work with and hopefully put out there soon!

Thank you very much!!!

It's a very good course. If you want to write . Complete script this course will help you do it. It is very crisp and to the point. I would love to recommend this course to anyone interested in learning script writing.

This course is useful & it really helped me make a pilot episode. I went form not knowing how to write ANYTHING in script writing format to being (somewhat) an expert on script writing. Many thanks to David Wheeler!

I'd like to say a big thank you to our instructor Mr David Wheeler for putting this course together. It's really insightful and I will continue to use this skill to do more projects in my field as a writer. Cheers

Great course for the breakdown of storybuilding through synopses and outlines, a process that works to better inform and strengthen the narrative. Giving and receiving critiques were also helpful exercises. Kudos!

The assignments help a lot. This course is best for new writers. If you want to write something and want feedback, this is the course for you. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to start their writing career.

this is my first official course on script writing and It was worth the time. And I learned a lot about script writing (pilot episode). Thanks to Michigan University and David for this wonderful experience.

I really enjoyed the course and David Wheeler's style of explanation. The videos are really helpful. Also, the mentor - Jan Zurcher, is always there to address concerns and answer questions. Thank you !

David Wheeler is awesome, and I love this course! I am so glad that Coursera and Michigan State University have partnered to offer this course to those of us who have a thirst for learning! Thank you!
