Hi,

Are these sentences correct?

I have gone through the video lectures of “Circuit Design”, taught by Prof. Nash to gain more knowledge about the high-speed links.

I have gone through the course reader of EE12B,“VLSI design”, taught by Prof. Nash to gain more knowledge about the high-speed links.

I believe that your university would be the ideal place for me to do my Master’s and PhD, and I would love to choose a career in research and teaching after completing my studies.

I’m not cent per cent sure that what you mean is what I mean. Yet, I have made an attempt below:

I have gone through Prof. Nash’s video lectures on Circuit Design in order to gain more knowledge about the high-speed links.

To gain more knowledge about the high-speed links, I have gone through “VLSI Design”, the course reader of EE12B by Prof. Nash.

As far as I can tell, they’re okay. I cannot tell whether or not ‘the’ should be used before ‘high-speed links’ from these single sentences. It depends on whether you are speaking about specific high-speed links (use ‘the’) or high speed links in general.

Hi,

In this sentence

I have gone through the course reader of EE12B,“VLSI design”, taught by Prof. Nash [,] to gain more knowledge about the high-speed links.

I meant the course name of EE12B as VLSI design and not the course reader. So I should probably put that in brackets.

I have gone through the course reader of EE12B (VLSI design), taught by Prof. Nash to gain more knowledge about the high-speed links.

Should I place a comma after Prof. Nash in the above sentence?

Thanks

5

Yes. Otherwise it looks as if the reason Professor Nash taught the unit was so that he could gain more knowledge about the links.

6

Hi,

Which one is correct?

I have gone through the video lectures of (or on ?) “Circuit Design”, taught by Prof. Nash, to gain more knowledge about the high-speed links.
