Thank God it was a golden experience for me! As I am passionate about creative writing,the courseturned to be an enlightening experience. It had given me the ability to analyse manifold representations in the media,identify biases,and evaluate different aspects of social media.It made me a different and prudent consumer of media, and helped to foster in me critical thinking,through a process of enquiry. For me, the grammar part was of profound importance. I had specially enjoyed the peer-gradedassignments,and I am proud to say that I could complete about 87 peer reviews and am still continuing the process.It has taught me a lot.I would say it as if I had learned twice! Remember Joseph Joubert once said it wisely: “To teach is to learn twice”. 

My heartiest gratitude to our great teachers, Lauren Fiori and Ian Nichols of the University of Pennsylvania,who’d instilled in me the cardinal aspects of media and critical thinking.

This learning platform helps me to summarize the material, answer the quiz, take the essence of the video I watched. this platform provides an easy feature to provide materials and then give questions/quizzes that aim to find out what the learners get, in the video section features also provide subtitles to help learners who have problems with hearing / deafness. besides that, as a user of this platform, I have a little problem about the server that is easily down or slow because it is accessed by all people in the world, maybe it requires improvement so that learning becomes more effective.

I like how they put the lessons into small chunk of videos, which makes it easy to approach maintains my attention. But I'd like the quizzes to be a little bit more challenging and the videos go a bit more deeply into the problems. Sometimes, I feel like it is easy to complete the course so students might not have to try so hard. Personally, I think achievement gained through hard work is the most rewarding and interesting. Thank you for giving us this course. I did enjoy the new knowledge!

This is the first I completed an online course. Thank you so much for your supporting and your opportunity created for us. I really impress by games or some supplemental reading in this course because it gives me a chance to understand more about media and practise English skill. Sometimes, because of my limited English, I can not contribute many contructive comments to dicussion group. So, i hope that I will try more in another course. Thank you.

This course is very useful for me. The course allowed me to improve media literacy and English skills. Due to this course, I learned a lot about the features of the presentation of information by traditional and social media. I especially want to note the qualitative lessons of grammar. Many thanks to the teachers of the courses for the admirable multimedia lessons. Best wishes!

Great course! Very informative. If anything, in my view it could have been updated, especially taking into account that the course expands on new technologies. It sounds a bit award to read or listen to videos talking about "the upcoming elections in 2016", or "the word limit for a tweet is 140 characters".

Well organised curriculum and interesting course work! Would definitely recommend it to someone who is interested in the introduction to Media Studies, and not very confident with their English. However, it might be too easy for someone who seek more challenging tasks regarding media fields.

Great course, but the word studying to me was very distracting. I think everyone can look up the meaning and pronunciation of a word in a dictionary, so it does not make sense to overload the course with that. It is either media literacy, or language studies.

The course has a very logical structure, interesting articles, and quizzes. Games made this experience more fun and exciting. But I would only recommend this course for people with a Beginner/ Intermediate level of English, so it won't be boring for you.

I like the syllabus arranged to guide students to know more deeply about the media literacy and media analysis. In my opinion, the assignment need to be more often and more challenging about grading criteria. Thank you for your supporting, tutors!

Every thing is nearly perfect . just if you have a supervisor or a professor who gives an hour or 40 minutes as a conversation with students at least once or twice during this course. It will be great.

I've learned a lot this is a great course because gives the tools and how is handle the Media literacy in many ways, and also identify the different types of Media, the bias, the rules etc.

La iniciativa es buena, nos ayuda a todos los interesados en aprender el inglés como segunda lengua ya que esto nos abre nuevas oportunidades en este mundo laboral muy competitivo.

I wish I knew the course is for begginners before starting it. It was pretty easy to understand and I enjoyed learning. Overall, it was a great experience.

It is like an English course for those who would like to evaluate the social media sources (for beginner). Everything is in an organised way. Good.

An interesting course which helped me to think more critically while swimming in the ocean of information polluted by the media.

Really like it,

the course is really informative but I hated how its focus on intermediate English and not more advanced, wish it was more media focus

The course was easy to understand, provide exercises and games in every material, short in duration making it simple and brief.

très bon cours même si j'ai eu du mal par moment mais cela m'a permis d'avoir une autre vision de la langue anglaise.merci

Really enjoyed it! Found the jumping between knowledge and verb/vocab exercises a bit odd, though.

It was my first course online!

it was great! looking forward to take part in other courses as well

YOu can learn a lot of new words about MEdia Literacy, i love the videos and the instructors.

Great information, specially about bias but i would liked to be more challenging
