The class was very informative. I found that I procrastinated at times with continuing the process, but glad I finished & passed.

I'm happy that l'm able to read the lessons prior to viewing them, a welcome innovation. The relaxed, friendly tone contributes to the ease of learning. My biggest hurdle will be learning how to use the editing tools on Word. I am looking forward to achieving proficiency just as easily. I am optimistic about using proofreading as a means to a more affluent lifestyle.

Many comprehensive lessons were provided to equip students with foundational proofreading skills. I believe I will be successful after taking this course.

Hi Posse! Yes, I’ve gone all the way through and now are reviewing the places that were sketchy – like the apostrophes in numbers and the em, en punctuation. The explanations and worksheets/answers have been extremely helpful! I’ve been gratified that I do remember many of those things, and also grateful to have my slips pointed out. So, yes, there is something that could be helpful – Instead of having to go back through it all to find the places I need to re-focus on, it would be great if my mistakes along the way were somehow compiled together somewhere, kind of the way that DuoLingo has me review the questions in each section that I missed the first time through. Other than that, I’m very happy with the information, the encouragement that you offer, the flexible timing, and the progress that I’m feeling. Thank you for all of that. With gratitude, Jean

Overall, the course has been helpful. However, the narrator reads so quickly at times that I am not fully understanding the concepts. I never heard of the en and em dashes before now. I would prefer more examples, too.

I enjoyed my journey through the Transcript Proofreading course. I felt that is was very thorough and provided enough information and training to confidently go out and start a proofreading business. There is only one thing that I would change. The annotated transcripts are very outdated and have been proofed by several people. There are a lot of missed errors. Although we are taught to go by the rules of grammar and punctuation, having updated transcripts would lessen the frustration of many new students. Overall, I've learned a lot and I feel that the information and material provided was totally worth the investment.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are so glad you found the course worth the investment. Just to clarify, the annotated practice transcripts are intended as examples of how a proofreader might mark up a job. They’re meant to serve as a guide rather than a textbook or a reference for future work.

I have been enjoying the course until yesterday when I came to the practice essays. I am 68 so I have never really had formal computer training. I can do enough, but will need some help, hopefully supplied by my daughter. Anyway, at this point I'm a bit overwhelmed and trying not to bale. The course is good, I just need to find some inspiration and push through. VL
