What people are saying
peer review
Pacing just right; helpful assignments; solid, constructive teaching; tough yet encouraging peer review I really enjoyed the capstone.
It's a great experience to explore my new and enhanced writing abilities and have them put to the test in the peer review proces.
I was on scholarship so I did not pay for the course but it was disappointing that there was no moderation of the peer review side of the homework.
The most important part of this course is peer review IMHO.
The only reason this excellent course does not have five stars is because of the technical issues that are the responsibility of Coursera and the failure of some of the peers to write peer reviews according to the instructions.

so much
I loved the course very much, so much feedback and good reasonable comments for my works.
I am sorry that the course is over but I have taken away so much!
I took my writing to new places and learned quite a lot : ) Thank you so much for the opportunity and platform for learning.

creative writing
Helped me more than all the books I read about creative writing combined.
It unveiled so many of the mysteries of creative writing that I've puzzled over for a long time.
I have enjoyed every second of the five-part creative writing specialization.
I recently completed the 5-course specialization in creative writing.

feedback from
Although the next time it would be really nice to have kinda more reviewing weeks, I mean, clother to the end of the course I felt an inspitation and I needed some feedback from peers, but I couldn't get it bc it wasn't a feedback-week.
I was under the impression we would receive feedback from a qualified lecture in the Capstone, which we unfortunately did not.
Win, Lose, or Draw (Accept, Reject, or ReWrite) I NEVER would have gotten this far without the class and some excellent feedback from classmates.

each week
In general the specialization has been great!I feel like the capstone project could be a bit more challenging, maybe having more active instances each week where students could improve and receive feedback faster.
I feel the reviews are the most informative because they are the reader responses to the lessons covered each week so I think it should be a goal that is met each week even if a mentor must step in to provide that final review.The reviews are also an opportunity for me as a writer to improve my editing skills.

only received
I received some great feedback regarding my story but I was disappointed because most time I only received two instead of three reviews.
I only received two instead of the expected three critiques for the sanding and final critique assignments.

very useful
was very useful to me as a writer just putting her work into the world.
It had some very useful advice, and the people that I got to review my work had some useful things to say.
other students
Many of the other students were honestly very poor writers, and as a result, the feedback I received on my assignments was very superficial.
I made sure that I obliged for all other students and did a 'proper' job.
