I think for the homework part could be more challenge, and some of the exercise pages could not be opened. Overall, it is a great course, and I recommended.

I thought I would write more, but in reality, we learn here how to use comma or how to think about good writing. In any case, it is helpful for writing.

Although the course was too easy for my level, I still liked it. The videos were short and relevant, and the instructor knows how to keep you engaged.

It si a great course! The minor comment, combining the subject of variety of sentences with commas and parallel structures could be a bit overloading.

Taking into account the amount of resources and the qulity of them, the material of the course is old-fashion. All the content looks old and boring.

Great course. I definitely learned a lot. If you have a good grasp on grammar, a lot of this should be review. Overall, a lot of useful information.

The course has been very interesting and useful; however, I would have liked that my homeworks were reviewed by both the teacher and the colleagues.

It would be better if you leave more space for the student to communicate with each other, by that, we shall create more opportunities to practice.

Punctuation and basic grammar rules were very beneficial, on the other hand, it would be more essay practice on this course

Helpful course, but i personally feel that the peer graded assignment component should be removed as it does not bring much value to the course.
