The Creative Writing course at Stanmore School of Business was a great introduction to the world of writing. As a Japanese student, I was a bit concerned about the language barrier, but the instructor and materials were very supportive. I enjoyed the variety of writing exercises and the opportunity to experiment with different styles and genres. The course helped me to develop my critical thinking skills and to see the world from different perspectives. One thing that I found particularly useful was the section on editing and revision, which taught me how to refine my work and make it more polished. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, and I think it's a good starting point for anyone interested in creative writing.

Wow, just wow! The Creative Writing course at Stanmore School of Business has been a game-changer for me! As an Egyptian student, I was looking for a course that would help me to express myself more effectively in English, and this course delivered. The instructor was fantastic, and the course materials were engaging, informative, and fun. I loved the way the course was structured, with a mix of lectures, discussions, and writing exercises. The feedback from the instructor and fellow students was incredibly helpful, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn from others and get feedback on my own work. One of the most significant takeaways for me was the importance of showing, not telling, in writing, which has really helped me to bring my stories to life. I'm so grateful to have had this experience, and I highly recommend the course to anyone interested in creative writing!

The Creative Writing course at Stanmore School of Business was a solid introduction to the basics of creative writing. As a Brazilian student, I was looking for a course that would help me to improve my writing skills in English, and this course met my expectations. The course materials were well-organized, and the instructor provided clear feedback and guidance throughout the course. I appreciated the opportunity to learn about different genres, such as fiction, poetry, and scriptwriting, and to experiment with different styles and techniques. One thing that I found particularly useful was the section on writing for different audiences, which taught me how to adapt my writing to different contexts and purposes. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, and I think it's a good starting point for anyone interested in creative writing. However, I would have liked to see more emphasis on Brazilian literature and culture, which would have made the course more relevant to my own interests and experiences.
