Instructions for the lessons were clearly explained. I feel like I have a better understanding of Door #1 and Door #2 from Lesson #5 – Transitional Elements. The difficulty level increased with each lesson. It seemed appropriate. I printed all the handouts, and I’m sure I’ll refer to the file over and over again.

Everything was explained well, and I feel like I came away with a better understanding of story structure. I liked being able to see the instructor’s comments on everyone’s homework. That was a lesson in itself. It helped to better understand the concepts and lessons given. It wasn’t difficult, but it wasn’t too easy either. I had to think through many of the lessons, especially toward the end. Karin Beery is very good, as well as kind in her critique.

I took this course because it is an area I have not dealt with in my business in Australia, and one I would like to branch out into. I found the instructor very responsive and helpful.

The instructor is knowledgeable and welcoming to all. There is no judgment in her comments. She encourages interaction among participants. She responds quickly to questions and uses them as a jumping-off point for deeper discussion. The assignments were more time consuming than I expected, but they were necessary to grasping the concepts. As a beginner, I wouldn’t have wanted to lose any of them.

I thought everything was explained clearly. I found the forum the most helpful. Karin (the instructor) did a great job communicating with us and answering questions. Homework was a good challenge, and the material had a lot of great information.
