This course was good, but I felt like I was rushing through it. I do appreciate the resources given which will be really helpful. I would recommend this course.
I enjoy how easily he explains the different parts of editing. I have been able to comprehend many facets that in the past have confused me.
Useful course for when I will write in English. Easy to understand.
Slow going, so far.
This was fast paced, but Rob provided an amazing amount of useful info. I'm sure I will re-visit this video more than once as I sharpen my manuscripts.
This is exactly the information that I needed when editing my book. His speech is clear and concise and he has a pleasant voice.
Clear, well presented ideas.
Information is delivered very clearly by the teacher. Very helpful if you are a novice writer.
There was a lot of basic information. The mechanics of writing are available in many style books, so I did not need them here. Sometimes the concepts were a bit vague. For instance, the idea of transparent writing is a good one, but the course was vague as to how to achieve it. I find it hard to pin down the vagueness due to the vagaries of the course. Several times he advises the purchase of editing software.
