Hello everyone,
This will sadly, be my last blog post for English 177! Today, I finished my last online quiz and wrote my Assignment #6 blog post. In this post, I just want to share with all of you the things I learned in this course, my various thoughts about English 177 as a whole and anything else that comes to mind.
Firstly, I gained a lot of knowledge from this course.

In regard to online learning, this is not the first time I've taken a course online. However, this was the first time I took a class online with Athabasca University.

I work full-time as well as, being a full-time student, so when I have the luxuary to take classes online I do it because I can work it around my life instead of working my life around the course. I can do it at my speed at like 3am in the morning if I want instead of at a set time, at a set place and at a set day of the week. English 177 in my opinion, is a great way for native English speakers to brush up on their knowledge of the English language. It is also great for non-native English speaking people too. I have no complaints for the course. I liked the format and how everything was laid out, I appreciated how quick the tutors were to address any of our concerns and I appreciated how well explained everything was. All and all, I would recommend this course to a friend if they are in search of an English course that they can do
