This is such a valuable course for who those are planning to study abroad. I also found it useful to my incoming TOELF test, because the note-taking strategies are quite important

I think this is very helpful for someone not used to learning in English. The content was very articulate and talks about note-taking methods along with assignments that help practice it.

Hello, I’ve completed all parts of my course and scored 98%, but one quiz (75%) is not letting me finish. The deadline is in 8 hours. Could you please unlock another attempt or mark it as complete?

Very long listening tasks while video quality is not very good. But some information is really important for me

Everything in this course is common sense, regardless whether you're ESL. There's an excessive amount of external content you have to watch, and the note-taking segment isn't helpful in practice
