Excellent course for poets of all levels! A great refresher course if you're looking to learn more about the beauty of poetry or if you're simply looking for inspiration!

D​oug was great, the info was great. Peer review was often frustrating as you were not paired with people at the same level so their comments were often unhelpful.

Very fun instructor.

The peer review as a workshop is perfect.

I just wish that there are more poems to study and that it's longer or it has a continuation.

This was an excellent workshop to help me brush up on poetic forms. Actually having to write, and revise was more useful than simply studying.

Great teacher and great content BUT I just wish that it would have been more abundant with information. it seemed for times maybe too short.

Early days yet but I've seen enough to realise it is interesting, intense, funny, persuasive, stimulating and creative. Thank you Douglas.

Very nice course, with interesting material, taught in a witty and engaging manner, and pretty good prompts. I had a very nice experience!

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.

D​oug 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 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.

Nice Course. Gave good insights and motivation to write poems
