Great skills and review for every professional. Some of the topics seem like common knowledge, however in the workplace these skills are worth revisiting and fine tuning through this course.

At some situations, the theories were not accompanied with examples and best practices. The lecturer sometimes forgets what to say and less expressive.

Very simplistic course but good refresher for drafting correspondence. The quiz for Week 2 was very confusing though, had to re-attempt several times.

The information was very helpful. I would have benefited from quiz explanations I kept getting the same two questions wrong on quiz 2.

Professor spoke too slowly for me. I prefer a slightly faster pace and not as redundant but I understand this was a general course

I feel like some information is too general.

I wish there are more practice on writing instead of just informational materials.
