Comments from Learners (left to right): 'The webinar broke up the review writing process and made it less intimidating. I appreciate the bookshelf metaphor when distinguishing between the revising and editing process.'; 'We liked the informal explainations you gave for the different aspects of the writing process. Very clear and understandable.'; 'Well-structured and gave a lot of ideas for getting into the first draft, which is something that I was very nervous about prior to attending this webinar.'; and 'I really like how Ada broke down the roadblocks (mostly psychological) into achieveable chunks. The polls were very engaging, as well as the live time document sharing.'
