What Others Say

Very interesting course, so much feed back from both tutor and other students; learnt to really use my brain better. I liked being able to do the writing in my time without any pressure it’s great to learn over the Internet as I live a fair way from a TAFE plus being on a pension finances limits me.

I enjoyed the course immensely, and am sorry it has finished. I learned so much and am now going to finish the children’s book I started three years ago. I also made a new friend, actually two new friends. I will do another course now. The results were so encouraging.

My tutor really helped me. I’m really sad that the course has finished. I didn’t really know what kind of a writer I was. The exercises adapted so well with what I wanted to achieve.

Attached is my evaluation form for the Writing for Pleasure course just ended. This was a thoroughly enjoyable course with an excellent tutor.

Knowing that someone will read one’s work helps to target the mind. The support from the tutor was very good. She is obviously a master diplomat.

I really enjoyed this course. Jenny was very helpful with her comments. I would like a more advanced course, starting where we left off with using creative titles etc. from newspapers to spark ideas. There is never an end to what a writer can learn.

An excellent introduction to the pleasures and challenges of writing. Jenny is a caring and supportive tutor. Her constructive comments on written activities, and her positive approach in general, made taking the course a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

Congratulations to all at U3A for their enterprise and initiative in offering these online courses. I was surprised, if anything, that there weren\\'t more participants. As someone who took the course while sitting in the UK, the World is your oyster!

The first thing that I want to say is that the course has been useful to me and therefore, from my point of view, it has been successful as it is.

Peter and Brenda were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Thanks again Peter for your help I have started writing my story.

You have a number of people who have gone into it with great gusto and have benefited much from the course.

This is not a three year degree. It therefore has limitations on what it wants to achieve. And again, from that point of view, I think it has been successful.

There is something that I hear constantly. 'Oh, I wish that I had asked my mother/father while they were alive..........' And I often find people who say to me that they would very much like to do what I am doing but............and who might be encouraged to actually do it, by doing a course through the U3A.

I really enjoyed this course. Both Course Leaders were available for advice and guidance - without their encouragement I probably would have put off writing my family history for ever.
