What our students are saying...
Sharon Sabu
thank you very much for the short course. I have gained knowledge in the types of writing and it developed my writing skill at the same time. I like to thank Tanya a lot , for being extremely patient in explaining about questions we raised on the activity and lectures. As well as, giving a handful of tips on how I can improve my writing skills when English is my 2nd language. Appreciated for her understanding, and positive encouragement as well. Not to forget as well, ArchitectureChat , you have really provided a very good platform for me to have a chance to learn this specific course. Honestly, it is not common to find course especially tailored to such specific skill, not even in most university. Thank you very much, and that too, on the student discount you have given to me. Appreciated that very much.
