The course is really good and concise. It improved my writing and grip on grammar by a large extent in a short time. It is worth taking even if you know or have an idea on all the mentioned modules.

Good course for building foundation in writing. Punctuation is a key aspect in writing and to do it justice require the adequate amount of information which, fortunately, is provided in this course.

There were many things I did not know even though I was studying English for a long time. I am glad to have enrolled in this course. I know the use of commas and semicolon, which is usually tricky.

A wonderful course that tells you about different types of sentences and about the use of comma and semi-colon in compound sentences, which, otherwise, is a very complex issue for many learners.
