"In just two hours I feel a bit more confident about my understanding of essay writing. Like most first year students I was apprehensive of the transition we would have to make in our writing style, but this course really explains even the basics very clearly. The resources, our ACC tutor and all points and questions raised during the session were all really helpful for a holistic understanding of academic writing."
