The instructor worked to make sure I understood everything. I found everything useful to think about and be aware of as I begin editing. I most liked the one-on-one format and the instructor’s timely responses.
Tracy Donley –
Karin is very good about explaining a concept clearly and then offering examples that anyone can understand. I especially loved the individualized attention! The way the course is designed—with the lessons and examples offering clear information and then the assignments being doable and interesting—is very thoughtfully designed. I felt the assignment load was reasonable and helpful, challenging without being overwhelming. Karin’s feedback is probably my very favorite part.
Sydney Schlueter –
The course was very informative, and the assignments were relevant, useful, and well balanced. The instructor was great at answering questions and providing additional references. If I had questions, she did a great job explaining concepts and providing additional examples. The lessons were fun to read, and the assignments were varied and always applicable. This is a great course to take, if you’re new to substantive editing.
