This course, its instructor and many peers keep you motivated to write with joy, meaning and structure, especially in these uniquely turbulent times of socio-political flux with a pandemic on top.

A great course even for people who already have some screenwriting experience!
The weekly tasks really keep you motivated. The lectures are efficiently short and David really kind of grew on me. I will miss watching his short motivational videos every week.
The skills and confidence I earned will definitely help me with my career.
Peer review could use some work. I oftentimes got Spanish screenplays, that I can't review due to the language barrier. You also have to review more people than is said in the instructions. What bothers me most is that peers who already received feedback won't see your additional feedback, which kills the drive a little.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS COURSE!

The course is great! I really appreciated the hands on approach and peer reviewing idea. At the beginning it worked really well and I got helpful feedback from other course participants. The further the course went the less I got such feedback unfortunately - which somewhat makes sense since one would need to actually read and evaluate many pages of a someone else's script and that for 5 different people in order to move on to the next task - which again is the whole point. Though my experience was that people aren't up for it in general so I eventually stopped submitting.

Great to keep you accountable and consistent. Really great to interact with other writers. We just don't receive feedback from any mentors or coaches, or get more in terms of format. But this is a good place to start.

Learned a lot about screenwriting. I was nervous to start but really enjoyed it. Some parts you couldn’t upload your work so that was annoying and there’s no one to contact to fix it. Otherwise great course

It's a really nice course for people interested in film-making. It is an eye-opener and a very practical course which helped me learn how to write a good script.

I enjoyed this course! The videos are nice and inspiring. The learning experience is based on the reviews. I had the luck of getting very useful reviews.

Love the professor and the material! I feel that it should not be purely peer review-based, but that's my only critique.

The course itself is fantastic, but your classmates don't always leave useful feedback.

It did not provide anything on the technical side of writing.
