Why comment on the course page?


Our teacher in the Beginner's French course, Stuart, decided to add a Comments block to the main course page to get some feedback about the content of his course. As you can see from the next screenshot, using the block in this way provides a quick and easy method of viewing at a glance what people think of the course.

However, we've got the means to comment pretty much anywhere we want so let's investigate some other places where commenting might be valuable!

What follows is not an exhaustive list, obviously, but just a few suggestions that might give you a few ideas for your own course.
