1. Interest level
Even though the course seemed easy at first, it became trickier and interesting as I went through it. It showed me that I had some difficulties with some homonyms I took for granted. Nevertheless, I found this course to be very interesting and helpful.
2. Difficulty
As I mentioned above, I underestimated the course at first. However, with time, the difficulty level became higher, and I stumbled onto a few questions. It was not as difficult as the course on puctuation, but it was challenging enough to keep me hooked all along.
3. What I learned
-The word number is used with plural nouns that can be counted; the word amount is used with singular nouns that can't be counted.
-Modifiers can really affect the meaning of a sentence by the way that they are placed.
Here is an example:
I only bought two apples.
I bought only two apples.
In the first sentence, the two apples were only bought; however, in the second one, not more than two apples were bought.
-Some words like alright and alot do not exist. We have to use all right and a lot.
4. My score
I did not get a score for this course, but, during the exercises, I usually made from one to no mistakes every time.
5. Course rating: 7,5/10
This course was very interesting, and it had a reasonable level of difficulty. Sadly, the only problem with it is that it could confuse people or learn them false elements. As a matter of fact, some of the exercises contained mistakes; they would show that some answers were wrong when they were right, and they correction keys sometimes contradicted themselves.
