Formative work: October 24

Course 3: Fundamentals of Writing 4: Editing I







  • Interest level: Very interesting. There are different types of exercices. I would recommend this to the students who have problems writing coherent sentences. It teaches you how to watch out for common mistakes while writing.


  • Difficulty level: It wasn't very hard, but it helped me a lot. I wouldn't change for a harder course. It was a perfect difficulty level for me to start. I think I will try the next course for the next formative work.


  • What you learned ( examples) : I learned to watch out for run-on and run-together sentences, and I learned how to correct them. I learned that neither is always singular. I learned the importance of referring correctly to indefinite pronouns while writing. I learned a very easy trick to help me with pronoun case agreement.


  • Score: There isn't a score given at the end of this course.

RATING: 8/10









Course 4: Fundamentals of Writing Course Prompt: Persuasive 1


  • Interest level: It is interesting to see how much I can write in a short period of time. I think I lost a lot of points in the length of my text. It is not indicated how long our essay must be. I think we should be given a general idea of how many words we should write. Next time, I will write a longer essay and take more time in writing it.

  • Difficulty level: It takes time to write. I wrote quickly and did not review my text. It was easy for me because I did it very quickly, but I should have taken more time to write my essay and work harder on it.

  • What you learned: I learned that I have to take the time to write clearly. My sentence structure is weak. My use of punctuation is not very good either. I have a lot of work to do to be able to write clearly and coherently.

  • Score: 3/6

RATING: 5/10
