Any additional comments?
He has some great advice but..."it is easy for him to say...". I believe, I just don't have the imagination to create or the intelligence to present a story in an effective way. I don't care how many great techniques you may hear, if you don't have some degree of talent to begin with, no one can make you a successful writer. If you possess talent, you can profit from the techniques in proportion to the amount of effort and time you are willing and able to invest.Some good advice

One of the best writing how-to's I've ever read

First, at about 4⅓ hours long, this was a very short series of lectures on what is a very large topic. Accordingly, the lectures took a pretty high-level approach to those sub-topics discussed.
Second, given the short time available the lecturer spent too much time chit-chatting. The chit-chat generally concerned the author’s life and her books.
Third, I was surprised to hear someone (a professor?) in this day and age using valley-speak. That made it very, very hard for me to take her seriously.
On the other hand, I felt some topics were explained well enough so that almost anyone could understand them. Hence the 3-star overall rating rather than two.
The Great Courses lectures on this topic are better - more detail, no speech affectations. There are also many other good books on writing novels available through Audible if you’d like to learn more about it than is covered in these lectures.
Totally, like, surface-scratching?
