So, we’re now moving on to the final unit of the course, released on Monday 6th December at 10.00 (UK time) and given that it’s a busy term and you may still be working on previous units, we’ve decided to keep it a short one. This module will provide a guide on how to use the Corpus Query Language function in Sketch Engine, as well as additional support on how to build your own mini-corpus. We’ll also remind you of ways to stay in touch and share useful links once the course is over.
Just to reassure you that the course website will stay open until Friday 7th January – which is also the deadline for the final assignment – so you have time to catch up if need be. For those who successfully complete the course, you will also have permanent access to a self-study version of the course containing most of the content.
Also, remember there are optional drop-in sessions this week to attend on Zoom if you want. More details can be found further down the homepage.
