Signs of the Apocalypse?

I posted my final course grades two days ago, and I haven't had a single complaint, nor even a question directed my way about a borderline B that "should have been A."

Maybe I'm just getting better at communicating my expectations nd my students' status throughout the semester.

What is your opinion of Gotham Writer's Workshops? I'm debating taking the screenwriting course online. Good investment?

AJG,

I'm not sure how long ago you posted this, and I didn't see the comment until now. Sorry for the delay.

I'm not too familiar with the Gotham workshops. I know OF them, but I haven't been involved with them in any way. If the instructors are credentialed, they might be a good idea.

With any writing workshop, the keys for me are: do you need to to discipline you into writing? do you need it to train you on the essentials? Will you get good and detailed feedback from a community of writers?

Thanks for the reply. My hope is to get input from people in the field so I know if I'm wasting my time or not. At the very least, it would be a learning experience.

This is the screenwriting faculty at Gotham:

Thoughts?

Also, I've started a separate blog strictly for my screenwriting adventure, if you're curious:

Thanks again,
A.J.
