Very informative, useful, and helpful. The instructor is really humourous! Many thanks for the great efforts in making this wonderful course.
This is an easy course that is fairly effective, but it has its short-comings. Some exercises are very poorly designed, e.g. Spelling Exercises. Video transcripts have critical typos and erroneous transcriptions There is zero interaction with any professional educator. The discussion forums are black holes where students seem to post mono-syllabic responses and contribute nothing to discussions. Each Module covers a good amount of vocabulary but that vocabulary is a minimal part of the testing. This is a program that from a testing perspective focuses primarily on prefixes and suffixes. Quizzes are on an honor code, meaning you can look up answers and cheat. This greatly diminishes the value of the certificate, because anyone can get this without effort - just pay the fee, submit a quiz completed through cheating, and you get a certificate. I did do the work and took the quizzes seriously; however, regardless of whether you are studious and work very hard or are lazy and do absolutely nothing everyone gets a certificate. The initial appeal of the course for e was the relatively cheap fee and the schedule flexibility. I wouldn't dissuade anyone from taking the course, but I think I would explore online courses more carefully in the future and probably find one that has a better professor / student interface with actual dialogue. Good luck.
