It was a great course with a highly knowledgeable instructor. Just make sure quiz answers are updated regularly, as many answers were marked incorrectly when they were correct.

An extremely helpful class that provided me with tools for approaching lyric writing. Pat Pattison is a terrific teacher; I really enjoyed his lectures and examples. I looking forward to more opportunities to learn from him. I recommend this class to anyone looking to learn the basics of songwriting and/or to try to break a block and get writing again.

a challenging course, perhaps because I have no previous experience. I'm glad I've learned a lot from it and completed it!

The lessons were really helpful in filling the gaps I had in my knowledge! Moreover, I was able to pick up a lot of tips that have made my songwriting process go more smoothly. Perhaps the only qualm I have with this course was the grading and rubric system for the peer reviews, in that the most minor of mistakes can result in a dramatically lower grade in an assignment. That aside, however, I had a good experience taking this course and am sure to use what I learned in the future.

Amazing course! I almost cannot believe how much I have learned within a relatively short span of time. I am hungry for more!

Second time I'm taking the course. Everything I needed. Again, in a way :)

I Learned very very useful tools to be an effective songwriter

This course is awesome! It has radically changed my outlook on songwriting and can only suspect further truths being reveled to me as I progress.

The only reason I didn't give the course four stars is that it is so rich, I need to take it again! When I've completed it the second time (very time-consuming) and can really appreciate all the professor has to offer, I'll raise to five!
