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....

I have learnt a lot from this course about writing stories. All the teachers were excellent and contributed in taking our writing to a better level. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole writing experience.

It was challenging and inspiring, one of the best courses I have taken. I took my writing to new places and learned quite a lot : ) Thank you so much for the opportunity and platform for learning.

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
