I鈥� am very glad to have been exposed to this course. It's a course one should have been exposed to earlier in life. It is worthwhile in making one's academic writings rated high.

After completing the course, I feel more confidant in academic writing with different sources. Also, it is the perfect course if you are not sure about MLA and APA formatting.
