It made me stay up to 4AM a few times, but its incredible. You will learn a lot, and it is a very fun class

The real professor just gives you tips and he is not paying attention to the work of the students. Instead, your work is reviewed by some other random guys who may or may be not prepared to review, if I get to complete this course I'll be getting a certificate not from Michigan State, but from some random guys. No one is reviewing my work despite the fact that I always deliver my assignatures on time and no one is anwering my questions on the forums.

This is the second course offering I've taken with David Wheeler as the facilitator. David's love of writing is evident in how he presents the course materials and objectives. It's as though he's performing a script from a play; there is drama, emotion, and passion in his speech and movements. More importantly, what you get from David isn't just meaningful lines from a script but passionate, supportive, and motivational dialog that is uniquely encouraging while pushing you to be the very best that you can be.....

This course is very useful for beginners. If you take the paid course it's helpful in that the instructor gives you guidance and a timeline to keep you motivated. If you audit the class, the videos are still very informative and helpful. The instructor has extensive experience in each media and is very knowledgeable. The only thing that would be even better is additional resources, such as how/where to find Literary Agents, etc. but that would just be a bonus! Great course!

This course was very challenging to get through, but it helped me start my IP and now I'm working on my novel on my free time. If you have an idea you really want to develop, I suggest taking this course!

Soo much AMAZING information!

The teacher and content are wonderful. Learned so much!

Great chance to practice novel writing, screenplay writing and game design.

It was really very interesting course!!

very concise and straightforward course. However, it would've been better if the instructor or the course was constructed in a way to be more free instead of having to pay for the full course. Also, he did not take into account changing technologies and new media for let's say, video games. In books you can get e-books on iPad or electronic reader device. For video games, there is a new virtual-reality goggles technology that has come out changing the way we play videogames and interact with virtual worlds. If this was more updated and taken into account it would have been a more full-fledged course. Might I suggest these changes for the new session?

This is the most challenging writing course that I have done so far! But, it actually made me write the first two chapters of my novel and now, I am now looking forward to finishing the novel and getting it published.

This class really failed to meet my expectations as it did not provide the peer review it implied was the basis of the class. People would leave no comments, simply check boxes if you had met the basic requirements. The forum was completely inactive, with only comments from earlier course times, so you had to hope your questions had already been answered. I mean it encouraged me to write but it was a good thing I was already a fairly proficient writer who already knew about screenplays, as the lectures were very watered down as they relied on us learning through peer review that never came.
