"I’ve become more willing to criticize my own writing, as I now know that it’s important to look at writing as a technical craft as well as for the themes it reveals…It was eye-opening to see such an effect in myself…and I’m grateful for the lessons it offers to my own writing."

"This class taught me to enjoy writing on a different level. Overall, I truly believe I will use [this] knowledge for the rest of my career and for the rest of my life. My work…showed that I can do more than I think. I am excited for my future!"

"I’ve discovered that I am able to thrive with independence…[B]y having control over learning with discussions or being encouraged to feel confident in navigating difficult[ies], I feel freer and more learned than ever.”
