Tips for writing a good review:

  • By definition, a review is a critical assessment or evaluation. Explain why you hold your opinions and include specifics.
  • Reviews that include both positives and negatives, pros as well as cons, are the most helpful.
  • Balance a raving review with a suggestion for improvement or something you’d do differently if you had to take the course again.
  • Balance a negative review by adding at least one positive aspect about your experience.
