parallel structure
It has helped me with writing complex sentences and adhering to parallel structure when writing essays.
Also, I learned about parallel structure and how to use them in my writing.
However, it's a nice short course where I learned a lot about Parallel Structures and commas.
I learned several fundamental aspects in this course, like about tenses, proper punctuation, and about usage of parallel structure etc.
[Parallel Structure]It uses some conjunctions like and, but, both....and..., not only...but also...[Sentence Variety]Use the different 4 types English sentence style, simple, compound, complex and compound-complex to enrich your writing.
After this course, I was able to use interrupting phrase, transition words, parallel structure, and sentence variety much better.
The minor comment, combining the subject of variety of sentences with commas and parallel structures could be a bit overloading.
Some places I lack using some correct verbs and sometimes not seeing parallel structure of the sentence, this course is helping me identifying those areas which are needed to be corrected.
This course helped clarify the uses of commas and semi-colons and the structure of parallel structures in sentences.

In order to grasp the first module about verb tenses, I had to do some background research on different grammatical structures.
This course has highlighted some important aspects in writing such as verb tenses, complex and compound sentences, conjunctions, parallel structure, and sentences variety;nevertheless, the videos were all helpful.
The course professor was excellent and made the rules on commas and parallel structure as well as verb tenses seem so simple.
Very useful and straightforward course on the basics of grammar (but just the basics of Verb Tenses; was expecting more of it in terms of grammar topics - Passive voice, Conditionals, Reported speech etc.
Good english course for starters Great and useful course, really helps to understand how the grammar and punctuation works, focuses on correct use of verb tenses as well.

For me, this training course has clarified that how to use correct verb tenses, correct punctuation, good parallel structure, and good sentence variety ,better than before.

high school
But I think it's more suitable for high school students, as the course's content is simple.
I’m equipped with a masters degree in English, and have a very valuable experience in teaching high school level & college level students.
If you want to know more about grammar, good (be sure to bone up through, because she assumes a lot about what you might remember from high school and for those of us over 40 ... hmmm).If you want to feel inspired to write something of value and interest to yourself or others, not so good.Over all I would not recommend this course or series of courses.
An excellent course to refresh what you have learned during your high school days.
In the last couple of weeks, I have learned more about grammar than any other classes that I had taken in high school.
It was a great refresher to what I learned in high school.
Highly recommended, I speak good english, but need to learn the grammar rules that I procacinated on learning in high school.
Recommend this to anyone that hasn't taken a writing class since high school.
