I really appreciate this course and I have learned much about it but, I have to revue it many times in order to understand it more. According to me, the course was long and the deadline was too short. So I was running after time.

In my opinion, the way you explain it is a bit confusing. I think you could go with simple and shorter way of explaining. For example when you explain about relative pronouns (if I'm not mistaken) you explain about the exception of using neutral pronouns. I think you could say, "because someone is neutral, we don't know the gender, so we can't use himself or herself and by doing so it looks like we favor one gender more than the other one. So, we can use theirself and it's generally acceptable as singular form." It's just my opinion, thank you.
