Some informative English language knowledge is provided. I cherish the peer assignment in which fellows rate on my writing. That's the most rewarding thing in this course.

It's a good course. You learn the main rules to write. It's an interesting course for a non native english speaker. You first have to write a draft and then you must revise it.
