**Student Testimonials
** _" Excellent content and structure. This is a composition course, then learners are expected to write a lot. What I like about the activities is the methodology since participants are invited to reflect a lot, revise, correct, etc., exactly what writers do in real life. In short, there are demanding but rewarding assignments, lectures are high quality and help students, in my opinion, to understand the topics easily. The instructors are nice and care about learners' challenges."
"I'm Aziz from Morocco. I always wanted to develop my writing skills especially academic writing where I still have some issues. And I believe that this course is the perfect one for me to attain that goal. Thank you edX and Arizona state university for this incredible learning opportunity and happy learning for every one enrolled in the MOOC." - _Aziz Soubai

What people are saying
give yourself full marks
Unclear assignments, duplication of teaching materials, 90% self assessed so you can give yourself full marks through the entire course and even if you are making no attempt at the assignments and skip the few peer reviewed assignments you still come out with an A-grade score.
