I found this course on Coursera and it has been a delight for me. As a former professor in a school of law, I know how difficult it can be to explain a topic to different people with different levels of knowledge. This course has that characteristic. Therefore, I have to thank you for your teaching and tips. I am sure that I will be using them.

-Julio, Venezuela

Thank you so much for this in-depth course. It provided me with some very technical information on punctuation in English. I am originally Russian, but work in communications and public relations, and it is crucial for me to have impeccable writing. Thank you very much again.

-Tamy, Russia

I took this course to improve my academic writing skills because I am involved in scientific paper writing. This course was very helpful to me because it helped me to understand the basic rules of grammar, which were very confusing to me before. I did appreciate the pedagogy during this course, and also the exercises because they greatly helped me to understand the course.

-Bienvenu, Guinea

The reason for taking this course was to prepare my self to be a good teacher, and it really helped me a lot with writing. What I loved about this course is the way it benefits you without repeating. Thank You very much!

-Ahmed, Egypt
