it's one of the most effective courses I have ever take. The material is well structured and the tutors are perfect. everyone can get benifits from this course no matter what their English level is.

I liked tone and style peer assigned test, because speaking is one of my main topics for taking this course. Overall, this course have a lot of theory and very little real examples. The exams are awful, there are mainly questions from theory slides, which are not practical at all. I also missed explanations at the exam review, as it was very frustrating (re)taking an exam and not knowing what are you doing wrong.

More often than not, suddenly English subtitle doesn't show up. Female speaker's voice is always hard to hear.

Me pareció un poco aburrida la metodología del curso. Además de muy gramático en vez de ingles empresarial.

In short, I am going to say that I have been comfortable studying this course. It has not been easy; I mean, I has been the most difficult course I have been made regarding about english affairs, but, It means that I have learned a huge of new things towards business vocabulary and behaviour within business atmosphere. Thanks Coursera!!!

It`s a great course for non-native English speakers to learn and get more information about English written and spoken language use from business perspective. This course also includes examples of business English, providing important critical and logical thinking skills.

It is a magnificent course.

Initially it looks simple, but as you progress through each module, its level goes up a lot. Which is very important, to learn and reason much more about the correct use of grammar and communication in all its forms.
