In my experience, I took the course in the early-mid 90s. My handler did nothing but criticize without offering suggestions on improvement or anything constructive. The names of some characters in one story were termed too similar and confusing, although it was nothing different than what Beatrix Potter had used, leading me to doubt my instructors credentials, and an article on an animal was termed an infomercial without any thoughts on improvement. I gave up and stopped submitting, and no-one from the Institute ever tried to contact me as to why. Once they had my tuition in full, what did they care if I continued or not. I consider them to be a scam.
