Skills Courses: What Do Students Have to Say?
"The graduate writing course was a wonderful experience! It helped to reinforce some practical skills and helped to sharpen all of my writing skills. I went into the course as a confident writer but completed the course as a confident scholar-writer. No matter the skill level, this course has lasting benefits and well worth it!"
-James-Etta G., Walden student
"I am extremely happy I took this course; the professor made the class so
much fun. I believe everyone should utilize the resources the Walden Writing Center provides."
-William H., Walden student
