Jay is great. It's a very hands on class where you get some tips on how to not get stuck while writing and prompts that help you write. After the 45 minutes allowed for free writing, you also get to read your piece and get feedback from both Jay and the other writers. There is absolutely no pressure on reading or get feedback if you don't want to.

I thought the class was going to be more or less checking grammar The instructor was okay. But he speaks so fast and he bite his words. So it was really hard to understand his critiques.

One of the top three creative writing classes I have ever taken—and the other two were full semesters’ worth. I’d definitely take any creative writing class or workshop by Jay. His class could easily turn into a TED Talk. He’s a great teacher because his delivery is flawless. He engages the entire class and remembers everyone’s name… devil is in the details.
