The course is very informative but the last cap is the first two videos mixed up so it doesn't have a conclusion video. I feel like i'm missing the end.

By Ajay Parekh on 1/25/2022

Lots of wisdom and knowledge but hardly a budget to be seen and lacking in actual process or detail of document templates. Literally is a camera at the back of the room filming a person talking at the front with a poor image of the presentation screen, with the odd screen overlays. Totally US centric so no use for ROTW. Part 5 is a repeat of Part 1.

By Amanda Welsh on 5/26/2021

This course is fantastic! How the instructor breaks down the process and walks us through it is really great and helpful! Enjoying this course so far!

By Corbin Schweitzer on 11/11/2020

Very knowledgeable instructor. Thorough understanding of the subject. Poor audio. Couldn't hear audience members. Last lesson is the same as the first two combined. Didn't have a conclusion/ wrap up video.

By Andrea Millard on 8/17/2020

The last course wasn't the wrap up course -- it was the first course repeated. Please fix this.

By Lauren Kleeman on 7/14/2020

Great info, but there are some technical issues. The sound has some bad spots and there is no mics for the audience so we can't hear half of the questions being asked and she doesn't repeat all of them. Also Part 5 is literally just a repeat of Part 1 and 2. The class is a little less than 2 hours not 2 1/2.

By Todd Gajdusek on 6/27/2020

Good course - except that part 5 (which gets to the meat of Fringes) is not there. The current video is a repeat of the first 2 parts. Please re-set Part 5 so that we may accurately complete the course.

By Roxanne Jaeckel on 4/16/2020

I really enjoyed the first part of the course, and learned alot of practical tips & information. However, the last lecture was Lectures 1&2 over again, exactly. The course is missing the 5th lecture which ties everything up! I've reached out to tech support and in the Q&A section. Please fix this video so I can finish the class!!

By Xolile Richard Kobo on 12/27/2019

Great information wish for more information like fallow the lectures for more

By Bry Troyer on 11/30/2019

Excellent course. I loved the instructor -- she has a mastery of the subject matter that makes this course so valuable. Number 5 of Section 1 was a copy of Numbers 1 (Movie Script Breakdown Part 1) and 2 (Movie Script Breakdown Part 2). Was that intentional? I was expecting to hear more about Fringes, considering the title of Number 5 -- but I didn't. It was a copy of what I had heard before. Other than that, wonderful course and instructor.
