I took the 'English for Academic Purposes' course at Stanmore School of Business to improve my academic writing and research skills, and I'm generally satisfied with the outcome. The course covered a lot of useful topics, such as plagiarism, citation styles, and academic integrity, which were all new to me. I appreciated the detailed feedback from the instructor on my assignments, which helped me to identify areas for improvement. One thing that I found challenging was the amount of reading required for each module, but overall, I think the course was well-structured and the materials were relevant to my needs. I would recommend this course to other students looking to enhance their academic English skills, especially those from non-English speaking backgrounds like myself.
