Overview
Class Central Tips
Being able to adeptly use adjective clauses in speaking and writing is useful for upper level English learners. Adjectives and adjective clauses are very common in English, so students need to be able to understand them when they see them or hear them. Students often struggle to bring complexity to their speaking and writing and adjective clauses can be a great way to do this.

completed this course, spending 1 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.
It was so screamingly boring that I couldn't complete it. I am a writing teacher, fiction coach, and published author. There has to be a more interesting way to present this!

is taking this course right now, spending 2 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be very easy.
I'm wasting my time with this course. I was hoping that this one would improve on the first, but, unfortunately, the format is the same. The videos are boring for a more advanced student; peer-review can only be described as the laughing stock. There're no discussion forums.
The difference between this course and the course offered on edX is immense. I wish I hadn't applied for the financial aid for Conjunctions, etc. because now I have to complete the course, while I could be spending my time on a course that really improves my English grammar and punctuation and/or reading a good grammar book. Shame on UCI.
