About the Course

Everything comes together in the Capstone. You will draft a complete story, narrative essay, or memoir of 8–15 pages. With the advice of your peer readers, you will revise, rewrite, and complete it. The skills you’ve learned of plotting, setting, physical description, characterization, and stylistic clarity and innovation will culminate in an original work of art all your own. We’ll discuss the steps that professional writers take to bring their work into the public world. Along the way you’ll learn the patient habits of revision that make up the writer’s life....

Pacing just right; helpful assignments; solid, constructive teaching; tough yet encouraging peer review

Great course with valuable tips and strategies for beginner writers. However, the peer-review system could be greatly improved.

LAS INDICACIONES SOBRE LAS TAREAS Y SOBRE LOS PROCEDIMIENTOS A SEGUIR A CABO SON MUY CONFUSOS Y MUY FRUSTRANTES. NUNCA RECIBÍ COMENTARIOS DE MIS COMPAÑEROS SOLAMENTE RECIBÍ COMENTARIOS DE LA IA. COMO LOS PROCEDIMIENTOS NO SON CLAROS TAMPOCO SUPE CÓMO ACTUAR, QUÉ HACER O A QUIEN DIRIGIRME para poder entender el curso y poder interactuar con otros compañeros a través de la lectura y los comentarios.

Other students provide minimal, to no, feedback that doesn't meet the requirements for feedback and there is no way to report this. It makes me feel like any work that is accomplished is more of a joke because of the people who skate through the course like this.

There are a lot of kinks to be worked out in this course. The teaching aspect of the Craft of Writing is in the four previous courses, this one is basically write a story, get reviews.

With all due respect, this module felt like a case of the barely sighted leading the blind!

There are so many bots that you really don't get real feedback. Then if someone sends a PDF in a different language than you, it's hard to help them because it isn't translated and you don't have much of a choice on what to do. All in all, this program needs to be cleaned up and the bots taken care of, it's a huge problem and I don't think I learned anything from peer review which is heavily emphasized in this program. Too bad because the videos has some helpful lessons!

Someone has stolen my story and shared as their own in one of the peer-graded assignements and no one from coursera or Weslyan as come to help out. UNACCEPTABLE
