If you have taken the three courses in this specialization, you have learned a lot of grammar in the past few months. This will be a big help to your studies or your career. This project will help you process what you've learned and help you remember it forever. In this course, you will create a grammar portfolio of the difficult or interesting English grammatical structures that you studied in the previous courses. Your portfolio will include several items that you create, such as two scripts that you will write, in which you showcase proper use of grammar points you've learned. You will then record a video performing each script and using the grammar. You can record these two videos alone or with friends. You can be creative and make funny skits like your teachers did in all of the fun videos you watched in this specialization or use your own creative style. The items you create for your portfolio will help you review the material you've learned and will be a memorable project that you can keep with you long after this course ends. You must be able to create and share videos in order to complete this course.

Mostly focused on punctuation and the use of comma in different types of sentences and a quick review of verb tenses. It's a perfect quick review before an important test.
The instructor speaks clearly and the course is full of samples and examples. You can practice what you learned through the practice quizzes and optional activities linked in the course.
I took the whole course in an afternoon watching at 2x speed. It's doable if you have some previous knowledge on the matter. The peer-reviewed assignments are easy and enjoyable. -
The course was exactly what I was looking for. I felt challenged and as though I grew in writing and understanding just a bit more than previously. For me, because I don't consider myself a seasoned writer like some of you guys, I was just looking to pick up a few tricks for writing. But oh was I in for a treat with this course, I really learned so much with it being the first course and all. If you're new to writing or just want to understand it all. Take a leap of faith and go ahead and try the course, you won't be disappointed.
Peace and Blessings,
