Some of it is too easy. I do like some of the reminders that have been presented, so far, which refreshed my memory. This was a very information course. I enjoyed going through it.

As I prepare to study for courses in proofreading and editing, I felt this basic course would point out my weaknesses in spelling, which I definitely discovered through this course. I appreciate being able to refer to this course as a refresher during my future studies.

I submitted a question on Rule 5 on the way it was worded and a suggestion as to how to change it to understand it better. This is a refresher course for me so I basically understood what was being said but it took me a minute and a second read (I'm very analytic). Also, I can't remember what quiz it was but one of the questions was distracting because it had three "r's" in "correct or incorrrect" and I got the answer wrong because I clicked on the "incorrrect" answer, ha. Otherwise, the course was good as a refresher and reminded me of rules I haven't thought of in years. Thank you.

Sometimes remembering the exceptions is difficult. Also, I don't remember this rule ever being explained quite so plainly that it is easy to follow.

I think it's set up very nice with easy access to everything but the pace of things is slower than I hoped! Overall fairly good course!

Spelling has always been a problem for me and this course has refreshed many rules that I had forgotten or just never learned. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that has problems with spelling.
