Principais avaliações do WRITING AND EDITING: WORD CHOICE AND WORD ORDER
Hugely enjoyable course. I learned a lot and it was engaging throughout. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel more comfortable with their writing skills.
Taking the course, taking notes and exercises has challenged me to be more intentional with my writing. I have also been able to note writing weaknesses and work on improving them.
For me, I felt the pace incredibly amazing and could be followed even during tough and busy days. The exercises were amazing. I and my peers have already sensed the difference in my writing.
Very good information and well structured. Energetic, and focused on actionable lessons. I recommend this class to anybody who needs to do persuasive business writing or teaching.
