What I would highlight: The course was very well balanced and pretty wide-ranging. It's made me keen to drill down further into several of the sub-topics. I learned that you NEVER finish learning good grammar! What the underlying tenets of good copywriting are, irrespective of style / tone of voice. I've gained a fascination with SEO, and its constantly changing nature.
