1) very well organized, with very precise assignments.
2) interesting and enough material to understand the main points of the course.

negative points:
1) To be honest, I don't have something relevant to say in this section. Maybe, but this is just to say something, you can spend more time on how to do a good presentation. ]]> 2021-12-14 07:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rogerhowardsmith/5g85vr4wydzkvsz0/wish/1946371766 https://padlet.com/rogerhowardsmith/5g85vr4wydzkvsz0/wish/1946555223 Positive
1) Great interaction with the prof and mates
2) Never boring assignment
3) Nice feedback on drive!

Negative
1) I personally find difficult to work on assignment directly in class, mostly with other people. I can't concentrate properly. 
2) When a new grammar or sintax rule is presented, a list of the different cases in which it is used can be useful
3) (related to point 2) A suggestion on good websites to consult may be appreciated by some that don't know them]]> 2021-12-14 09:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rogerhowardsmith/5g85vr4wydzkvsz0/wish/1946555223 https://padlet.com/rogerhowardsmith/5g85vr4wydzkvsz0/wish/1946613813 +
1) The exercises on how to produce a formal text were useful, especially those focused on removing redundant/useless information.
2) The exercises on the use of linkers and relative clauses were helpful for the production of a text with a cohesive structure
3) It was good to have an exercise on how to produce a presentation

-
As a suggestion, I would invest some time to explain more in detail the proper way to organise the content of a presentation ( eg the order and amount of written material to be included...)]]> 2021-12-14 10:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rogerhowardsmith/5g85vr4wydzkvsz0/wish/1946613813 Very well organized https://padlet.com/rogerhowardsmith/5g85vr4wydzkvsz0/wish/1949322588
  • Exercises and assignments are focused on real cases a physicist may encounter in his career
  • The lessons are interactive and people are encouraged to ask questions and speak to each other.
  • The double check of the homework mistakes is very useful to understand common mistakes people make. 
    • In general the course was really interesting and well organized. If I can suggest a little improvement, maybe, the analysis on how to write a scientific article could be useful.
