I found the Global Certificate in Creative Writing (Advanced) to be a well-structured and informative course. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided valuable feedback on my assignments. I appreciated the focus on creative writing techniques, such as showing vs. telling and writing dialogue. The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, with plenty of examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts. One area for improvement could be the addition of more interactive elements, such as discussion forums or live webinars, to enhance the learning experience. Nevertheless, I'm pleased with the skills and knowledge I gained from this course, and I would recommend it to others looking to improve their creative writing skills.
