Course 1: Synonyms & Antonyms #1

1. Interest Level

I think this exercice will prove itself quite useful in the future. Even though I had no problem with the synonyms, the antonyms were a tad harder to guess and I sometimes had to rely on my common sense to deduce a meaning for some of the words that were shown to me. There were a couple of words that I would'nt have understood if it wasn't for the choice that were given to me, which mean that I would've never used them in a conversation. Now, I can use those words and, therfore, enrich my vocabulary.

2. Difficulty

The first part of the exercice, focused on synonyms, was pretty easy. But the second part, on antonyms, was a bit more difficult. Indeed, some variations in the meaning of certain words made it hard to decide which answer was the most opposite to the word that was given to me.

3. What I learned (3)

I certainly learned quite a few vocabulary words that I'll try to force into my every-day thesaurus.

4. My score

80/100

5. Course rating

I think the course was pretty well done. I would, though, make the first part a bit more difficult as it was too easy compared to the second part.

Course 2: Word Analogy #3

1. Interest Level

I think this exercice was very different than anything I've ever done before. The idea of going bewond antonyms and synonyms to search words that relate to each other is pretty interesting.

2. Difficulty

I think this exercice was, overall, pretty though. Some analogy were really easy and evident, but most of them were not so easy and you had to think about it a couple of seconds before you could answer.

3. What I learned (3)

I learned to really take my time to chose a word wisely. It also forced me to approach a problem in a logical fashion. Of course, I also learned new vocabulary words.

4. My score

85/100

5. Course rating

I think this course was well-balance overall and the difficulty level was just right for a potential student to actually learn and test his knowledge at the same time. I would probably reorder certain questions in order to make them more and more difficult instead of having different difficulty level all over the place.
