Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about taking an online course, but the English for Journalism course at Stanmore School of Business really delivered. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided feedback that was constructive and helpful. I liked that the course was self-paced, so I could fit it around my work schedule. One of the most useful things I learned was how to structure a news article, with a clear intro, body, and conclusion. I've already started applying these skills in my job as a freelance writer, and I've noticed a big improvement in my writing. Overall, I'd say this course was a great investment of my time and money.
