I found the course challenging and even inspiring. As a teacher, Melody Gough had constructive critique methods and always made suggestions with consideration to the student's own creative efforts and abilities. I got actually more out of it than I expected.

Our instructor, Melody, opened up a whole new world to me. Poetry is far more than pretty words, it is an art. Through Melody's instruction writing poetry has become a beautiful artistic endeavor. Poetry certainly can add a great deal of enjoyment to one's life.

This course was very educational. Melody Gough, the instructor, is exceptional. She was very open and helpful, attending to our every question. She offered thought-provoking, and gentle feedback, understanding that poets tend to be sensitive. She is apparently knowledgeable in her craft. I would definitely take a follow-up course in poetry if she was the instructor. I trust her with my feelings.

This was a wonderfully convenient way to take a class I would not have been able to shcedule any other way. I really enjoyed the material and Melody's teaching style. I especially liked that she shared her work and was able to interact through the discussion area. I found that being able to read other students work and comments was very beneficial. I will refer back to this material often, I'm sure. Thanks, Melody.
