TOP REVIEWS FROM PERFECT TENSES AND MODALS
Nice course, I would like to thank you the team of the University of Carolina Irvine, for making this fantastic course, I feel really greatfull I hope you can help much people.
I noticed, what I believed were errors, but there was no where to post comments - I couldn't find a Discussion Forum.
Nor were the presenters still members of staff at the Uni.
The classes are very good, everything is well-explained. I learned a lot from this course. The experience was that good I will continue at finishing UCI online courses. UCI got my heart from now on.
I had been having a great time during this course. It was quite challenging especially the last two weeks of the course! But I've seen significant improvement in my English grammar, thank you
