It's great course to practice Listening skill, I feel like I can listen better because practicing and some benefit tips. But a small advise, you should know a bit about English academic before studying. If you are beginner and just start to study, it would be harder to understand.

This course provided me with what I needed and that was to write fast enough in English when listening academic materials... and some other skills like knowing what to write and what's not... but my main goal was to write faster and I achieved it thanks to this
