The course is satisfactory. It teaches when to use comas in order to get a good English sentence. Unfortunately, sometimes the links were not permitted in Chrome, so there were some activities that I missed.

The first course is though easy but interesting. It is a good start for listeners like me who is learning English as a second language to master some detailed information or rather punctuation about English.

Me gustó mucho. Creo que aprendí las bases para la escritura académica en inglés. Las explicaciones eran sencillas ya que era fácil entenderlas, pero al mismo tiempo los contenidos eran complejos y útiles.

It´s a good way to a recorder and learns about topics that are basic and necessary in English. Maybe you don't have to remember the name by name, but it´s important that you identified them to do good use.

Grammar and Punctuation helped me a lot with my essay writing. Before starting this course I'd always loose my marks in Essay writing, because of Grammar and Punctuation errors. Thanks a lot to Coursera.

Overall, this course was helpful for me to review some basic grammars. (Though there were some parts that were still confusing for me.) I will continue to take other academic specialization course work.

nowadays, we don't emphasize on proper punctuation and grammar, which in fact, is very important when it comes to writing. this course helped me to learn basic skills of writing and proper use of tenses.
