Great information about plot and scene structure. The information about revision was entirely new to me - thank you! The exercises were good and difficult in a good way that helped me hone my writing.

It seems easy at the start; give it a week or two and you will be very surprised -- with yourself and your reaction to the feedback.
The instructions are easy to follow, the insights are priceless.

I only wish that the videos would be longer, have a better production quality, I'd like to see not only slides but also videos, etc.

Peer-reviewed assignments get you little to no constructive feedback, but it is a lot of work to review other people's assignments.

SerÃa bueno que durante los assignments desde un principio se estableciera un solo texto para irlo mejorando a lo largo del curso.

It was a good learning method and I appreciate the lessons and the invited speakers that share so greatly from their experience.

This is giving me a methodology and moved me more towards enriching my characters and showing the story as opposed to telling it

The course instruction helped me develop my story more clearly. I do wish that there was some review other than just by peers.

Love this resource and Brando and his colleagues. Would have enjoyed longer videos sometimes, they were always pretty short.

A good start with pressing home the key to making scenes interesting: ABDCE. A little too wide a net in the editing rubric.

Clear and concise. Instructional. The only thing that I hope is to get more examples from the course except explanations.

I liked the ABDCE formula. It directed my thoughts and ultimately enabled my story to take a more satisfying direction.

The content is interesting, but not rich enough for a course. I finished all the videos and assignments in only 2 days.

content is exclllent but i found some of the peer assesment wasn't as constructive/helpful as i would have liked.

I would have preferred to also get feedback from the course instructor. The peer reviews were sometimes wanting.

Brando was excellent in specifying the methodological way of writing stories. Thanks for the 21 point checklist!

Short, pithy descriptions; to the point advice/ suggestions with leeway to alter the structure. Worth the time.
