It is actually quite a simple course, easy to attend as it does not require a long time each week. However it did improve my writing skills, I'm considering to attend the next advanced writing course.

This course was very helpful. But the problem is that it takes a lot of time to receive your grade.

Didn't like the peer reviews. They are most useless, act as blockers and waste a lot of time.
