RameshThis course was a goldmine for aspiring writers. It expertly dissected the art of storytelling, from crafting engaging leads to structuring compelling narratives. The practical exercises were invaluable in honing writing skills. While the course was comprehensive, more in-depth sessions on specific feature genres would be beneficial. Overall, a must-take for anyone looking to master the craft of feature writing. -
I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The work load was just enough, so i could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed. Overall I really like this class because all lectures is straight forward. I believe that I have more knowledge about this & hopefully, I can use them in real life.
