As a basic Business English course it provides fun assignments to complete. Beginners of English language may find some difficulties for some tasks, but there is enough additional material given to study and improve the language in order to pass the task. Why I rate 4 stars instead of 5 is because some quiz tasks with multiple answers are not clear enough why some choices are wrong. It was quite common to choose a synonym for a given word from 5 or 4 choices and when you make a mistake there is no feedback provided explaining why a quite similar word in its meaning is not suitable. I understand that these kind of task lets you improve the vocabulary but in some specific cases without feedback there is not much you can learn. Maybe some additional context could be provided for specific words that are listed in lesson's vocabulary table in order to give some guidance for students and make it less complicated.

Thank you, it helped me, a lot in terms of looking at a better deal, to people when talking, and looking for a more point of understanding for people. but it helps us to prepare our reports for the speech of understanding the public

le doy un 4 porque algunos audios no tenían suficiente volumen y no se escuchaban. algunas explicaciones deberían ser más interactivas como las que imparte la intructora Delian Gaskell.

Gracias por todo el aprendizaje obtenido.

It´s a good course, nice activities and alot of interaction with classmates. But the questions of the tests are too confuse, and the exam, some questions don't have correct answer. Please fix that.

I like the course, but I must say I was confused by some test assignments, as I could not understand the logic in the questions.
