Thank you for allowing other academics to use your quizzes; I will be encouraging my students to use them this academic year. In the Academic Style Quiz, I was delighted to note the questions that highlighted issues such as contractions and colloquialisms, as these seem to be key errors in our students writing.
Following Freda’s comment I want to thank you for giving us the freedom to use your material. Preparing for online teaching is made so much easier when we dont have to reinvent the wheel!
In line with Freda and Ros comments I want to thank you as well for giving us the right to use your information. It has given us more guidance.
Thanks, I have learned something today, and I will use the hints that you have given to improve my academic writing.
