Students commented in evaluation
“Great and ingenious application – catch me red-handed. It is good to know that I should go back and re-write.”“Great idea to introduce this tool to all students, especially to foreign (sic) who still learn “academic” English. Well delivered short course. Perfect length.” (International student)
+ “Useful to have a session to explain –probably could have figured it out just with the ppt.”
“I think that two sessions could be better, because some people like me are a little bit slow to understand these tools :)”
