The course met my expectations. It was broad in scope and had sufficient detail to be very beneficial for me. I enjoyed learning the online techniques such as track changes, which were a new experience for me.
My tutor was very helpful and quick to respond to my assignment submissions; offering detailed feedback and comments regarding my efforts. It would be more difficult to tackle the course using only online/multiple-choice quiz interactions and so I was grateful for the support.
The content is broad and detailed, covering a large range of proofreading and editing from light-hearted advertising to serious academic documents. In addition to the more traditional areas such as proofreading on paper, the latest online techniques are explored and I found the course to be interesting and informative.
I learned many new skills, such as proofreading on paper, Adobe Acrobat proofreading, Track changes in Word as well as revising a lot about spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Later on in the course, I learned about academic proofreading and some useful legal information.
Overall, the course was excellent. It was challenging, rewarding, and worthwhile.
