Kenneth Turan (LA times):
"While that bit of technical virtuosity is supposed to make us ponder the mysteries of mortality, actually seeing these various Buttons plays as grotesque and gimmicky, leading to speculation that the chance to do something bizarre and unsettling is what attracted Fincher to the project in the first place."
Well this person dislike the movie and the special effects in it, but as it is an oscar nominee, this person is probably wrong.

LEL #1-#2
Course 1: Basic Concepts in algebra
1. Interest level
I was really interested by this course, because I like mathematics in general and I have to use mental calculus everyday at school as I'm in architecture.
2. Difficulty level
This course was way too easy for me, it's about secondary 2 level, but I followed it anyway, because I needed practice.
3. What I learned (3 points)
I didn't learned much following this course, as I said, I wanted to take it to practice my ability to count mentaly, not using an adding machine. The only thing I learned is that I am way better than I thought.
4. My score
I actually didn't get any score or evaluation at all following this course, but according to the practices I would have had about 95-100%, my only errors being keyboard errors.
5. Course rating (/10)
I would give a 8/10 to this course because even if it was too easy for me, it still shows a good pace as it becomes harder just fast enough an it begins with the basics of mathematics as the name says it: basic concepts.
Grammar Skills 4: Adjectives, Adverbs, & Confusing Words
1. Interest level
I wanted to follow at least one English course as this work is to be done for the English class so I chose this one. Even if many people dislike grammar, I don’t so this was probably the English course that could have interested me the most and it did. I like to see the errors I say when I speak or write in English.
2. Difficulty level
This course surprisingly easy for me, it's only about secondary 3-4 level, but there was some subjects I didn’t remember perfectly so it was still a good review.
3. What I learned (3 points)
- I learned that the word “alright” actually doesn’t exist
- I learned the definition of “lose” which means to misplace or to be defeated
- I learned the meaning of “altogether” which is “completely”
4. My score
I actually didn't get any score or evaluation at all following this course, but according to the practices I would have had about 85-95%, the only errors I did were sparse and didn’t aim any subject in particular.
5. Course rating (/10)
I would give a 6/10 to this course because there were many errors in the corrected version of the practices, like the wrong word highlighted in the sentence or when I gave the good answer, sometimes it was marked as wrong even though it was the same answer it was showing as the good one.

Audrey's profile
Audrey is a young blond girl who sits besides me in the English classroom. She’s studying Science humaine. As a human, she does have goals. In terms of short term goals, she would like to improve her oral speaking because she’s too stressed when she has to speak in front of a class. After Cégep, she would like to take a year off to go to Europe for a trip. This trip would be an adventure for her, no hotels or luxury, just her and her packsack. Audrey is passionate by reading, every style of books. It’s actually one of her skills, she reads pretty fast, but it’s easy for her, she likes it. Her major achievement is the day when she went playing hockey cosom with handicapped people, they were using wheelchairs, she had a lot of fun. Audrey is very close to her family, she has a younger brother and a younger sister. She’s also very close to her friends; her best friends are Daphnée and Karine. Her other skill is to listen to the others, which is important for her.
