    Lots of background noise during classes. Wish I could have seen the instructor using the editing method mentioned in Introduction 3 for the examples. I still learned some things I haven't heard about in years. Good course.

    I like that I got to see several pieces of writing and go through the proofreading process. I feel like it will be helpful in my work. It was good to review the skills taught in this course.
