Great great course, Amity Gaige has a great charisma, clearly explains ideas, inspires and influences writers, along with interesting readings suggestions, and i liked how she personally presented the assignments.

Mrs. Amity Gaige.

The way Amity Gaige passes on her learnings makes it extremely easy for the beginners to pick things up.

An excellent course under the mentorship of Amity Gaige.

Amity Gaige quickly became one of my favourite tutors.

Amity Gaige is a terrific instructor.

Amity Gaige presents this constituent with rare sensitivity.

Thank you very much for your lessons, Amity Gaige, I'm now not as terrible as I was when I first started.

Amity Gaige was a tremendous instructor.

While I have enjoyed all three modules, I learned the most from this one.The first three weeks are very effectively focused on the course theme, setting and description--why it is an essential component of story-telling, what constitutes significant detail, and how to "research" to find the detail to include.

The videos in the final week (on genre and historical fiction) wander a bit from the central theme, but are certainly relevant to issues of setting and description.

Very good I really enjoyed Amity's style of teaching for this course on The Craft of Setting and Description.

Amity is an amazing instructor and gives great incite and lessons on Setting and description.

Highly reccomen The course, The Craft of Setting and Description, allows students to delve into the skills needed for polished creative writing.

One can tell that Amity Gaige has carefully tailored this course to teach us the craft of setting and description.

Only now after taking this course, I can appreciate how important setting and description really is for the reader and also for the characters in your story.

An excellent course to help you involve in the art of setting and description.

Amity Gage is an excellent Instructor with helpful tips and information regarding The Craft of Setting and Description.

Being forced outside my comfort zone has really gotten me thinking about writing from a different angle and I think that will help so much moving back to my own writing I've enjoyed "The Craft of Setting and Description."

I've learned a lot about what to include where setting and description are concerned and what to leave out.

One such constituent is setting and description.

This, for me, has been, by far the best part of the Creative writing course.

the most informative and most structured out of all Creative Writing Specialization courses so far.

The creative writing series of classes have been extremely enjoyable.

Definitely one of the strongest segments of the creative writing specializations.

One of the best creative writing courses.

Creative writing being an art, one may try and describe its constituents but never an entire composition.

As a side note, those auditing this creative writing series from Wesleyan University must choose one of their paid routes of they desire to turn in assignments and get feedback from classmates.

I recently completed the 5-course specialization in creative writing.

I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their creative writing.

For me, this might have been the most challenging course of the Creative Writing Specialization in that it targeted one of my weaknesses as a writer, but the assignments tested me and helped me to hone the craft of description (and setting).

They had some interesting thoughts, but for the most part they felt repetitive and for someone who hasn't written much creative writing.However, I really liked the assignments and peer editing.

I have learned so much from this course.And this might be the best of the 5 courses First, Amity is a great teacher.Second, all courses of creative writing gave me much more than the lessons, they gave me wider horizons and confidence.This one was so valuable, it made me learn various styles of telling stories, second person and lastly some secrets of how to create my story world.

Thank you so much for your time.

I enjoyed all the meditation parts so much that it made me rethink how research should be done.

I learned so much.

Thank you so much Amity for all the knowledge that you have given me.

I have learnt so much about description and about power of meditation.

Excellent course: Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you everyone, and thank you so much to Amity for taking the time to put together your thoughts into a class!

Very fun and helpful, thank you so much for the opportunity and the financial Aid.

I have learned so much and made great progress.

I really enjoyed this course and the reading selected by Ms.

I really enjoyed this course!

The peer reviews were mostly constructive and the instructor was clear and brought her learnings across.

I know it sounds unimportant, but we're here to write, and when we're given awkward assignments, the peer reviews go haywire and the writing quality declines for everyone.I read some of the best work, peer work, in this class and in the style class.

For me the peer reviews are a weakness for a number of reasons: students don't always have the same understanding of the assignments; it would be nice to have feedback from an 'expert' e.g.

The instructor is amazing and, the assignments and peer reviews really give an opportunity to the writer to hon their skills!
