GBClass was helpful I wish there was a way the student could chat in real time when he had a question. Otherwise, incorrect work may get submitted that causes a delay in moving forward. It took a while to get familiar with the layout of the program and tools. The next course should move along smoothly. I liked that the class could be extended for one week for free. I recommend this program and will enroll my middle schooler in the next writing course.

GBThis is a great tool for high school This is a great tool for high school. Takes getting used to the navigation parts but otherwise a great reminder and stepping stone for my student.

GBMiddle School Mechanics Mrs. LaChance was very helpful in helping my son learn writing mechanics. She was thorough and responded quickly, at times, responding earlier than expected so that my son was able to see the results and work on editing his work with time to move forward. It was a great experience and I look forward to the next class.

GBMy soon to be 5th grader just finished… My soon to be 5th grader just finished his second Time4writing course. I am so impressed with the program and the way, otherwise daunting assignments, are broken down into EASY steps. Our most recent course was Paragraph Writing. Descriptive and Narrative paragraphs come together with ease because of the simple breakdowns provided. Like all of us, we have been homeschooling through the pandemic. We have worked on writing using a variety of techniques, one of which being the writing "web" or brainstorming. The Time4Writing technique is more formulaic and very effective. Our summer plans changed a couple of times but we did not have a problem completing the course in the allotted time, so I did not find the program inflexible at all. In fact, we worked ahead a little because we were going camping and we were unsure about Wi-Fi availability. We just printed out the assignment ahead of time and worked in our notebook and then we transcribed the work when we got Wi-Fi access. The staff was so responsive and easy to work with. Thanks Time 4 Writing! I can't recommend Time4Writing enough.

GBCourse Structured Improperly Everything seem good except for one thing which really impacted us: the cause progression is tightly controlled on a 24-hour cycle between what a student does and the feedback from his or her teacher, so the student really can't do anything before the feedback is received. My son wasted a lot of time every day waiting for the cause on the web to open up so that he could proceed in the course. Really not a good way to structure a course! Unless this issue get fixed, we don't plan to take any course again.
