I loved the organization of the course. There was so much helpful information, and I had support during the course and after completing the course. Proofing actual transcripts was so beneficial. My only suggestion is for Proofread Anywhere to make corrections to the mistakes that the original proofreader made. I found myself second guessing corrections I made, but it was also beneficial to look up the rules to validate the corrections that I made.

I'm in the first phase of learning Proofread Anywhere and I'm completely satisfied with what I've learned thus far. I'm glad I took this course because it's a refresher to what I learned many moons ago. I'm not disappointed in the least.

I gave Proofread Anywhere four stars because I felt the updates and emails were about old stories rather than current situations I could relate to or be inspired by. Because of the timeframes, I didn’t feel we were on the same page. However, I did receive the email about the “Where Are They Now” updates, which was helpful.

I am enjoying the learning courses, and I am learning a lot. I am just having trouble using the proofreading software this course recommends. Software usage instructions can be complicated. I am just continuing and will come back to that later. 😊

General Proofreading Theory & Practice was a great overview of what a proofreader does (and doesn't do), how to find resources for doing the work, and for finding work and creating a business. The module layout was organized well and split up into manageable amounts of learning time with helpful practice worksheets and essays to go along with the lessons. Personally, I would have preferred a more visual presentation. The slides with someone reading a script was informative but sometimes felt too basic. For me, videos showing the workflow of a proofreader in process of proofreading an essay would have been helpful, especially when learning the various annotating tools and when learning to incorporate style guides and sheets.

The course was thorough and covered almost every topic I could think of. I wish there had been a section similar to the "myth-busting" emails that you have been sending recently. Some things, like "Possessive case modifies a gerund," are so completely burned into my subconscious that I cannot ignore them. You absolutely have to put in the time with the practice essays - they help a lot plus they cover everything you learn. As far as the non-content part of the course, up until I finished and submitted my exam I found the customer service to be excellent. Whenever I emailed with a question it was answered immediately. When I submitted my final exam, it took a full four weeks to get the results. I enquired about it several times and never really got a response that made sense. That is honestly my only criticism of the course. I really enjoyed it and plan to take the Transcript Proofreading course next.

Well laid out and easy to navigate course.
