Very interesting course, better done when in an academic context and with an ongoing project to carry out the exercices for. If you don't have access to a university library, you will be very limited, but the course presents some alternatives for us professionals who are still interested in researching and documenting our work with a more scientific approach.

A detailed review of one of the most important skills in academic research: information seeking. In particular, I enjoyed the tutorials on Mendeley and reference management tools. Highly recommended!

This course has taught me a lot of techniques in searching information for my academic researches. Thank you to all people behind this, especially to the professors in this course!

The basic knowledge on doing academic research online covered in this course should truly be taught to every student. This course is worth taking and will have long-term benefits!

Extremely valuable for researching techniques. Teachers were outstanding. Lectures are to the point without drag-on. Many thanks for the quality of your efforts!

Although I knew much of the content of this course, I still found the review of this knowledge useful. I recommend this course for beginning academic writing and university students, but I think the content of this MOOC could have been richer and more practical.

too general, it might be more interesting if it is focused on specialties: for example seeking information for health professionals

Nice course. However - it is too basic

The accent was awful and boring!

The course has become outdated because of technological advancement. Mendley no longer offers the features discussed in this course. This course needs to be updated/revised.

I adore everything in this course. Each explanation works for me and it loads of great knowledge and know-how across defining information needs, accessing online resources and upgrading my skills towards Mendeley since I have been using the application for years.

I really liked this course - it was short, useful and to the point. Would love to see a follow up on how to take notes of lectures, books and journal articles so that they can be used to build an essay.

The course was very comprehensive and easy to understand. The instructors made sure that they are giving the information in a way that won't make me confused. Thank you so much for this great course!

Very well-structured covering all key aspects of finding information for academic writing.

Very useful. I like the work ducument and log book.

very confident after finishing this course

covered the basics in persuasive manner

ok

It was a fast and educative course that brought a lot into perspective. Although, the links along the way contain 400 errors and some crashed. They should look into this.

Objective. Very good material and good practices to help you better build a bibliography for research purpose. Sometimes the multiple answers quiz can be tricky.

Apart for some slightly confusing breaks in the sentences for some speakers, it was very good and relevant information.

Very informative and interesting. I find that the exercises did not contribute enough to understanding the material.

Quiz 2 was very difficult, even if I made notes from videos. Showing correct answers in quizzes´ feedback is missing. Examples of search query contain some mistakes (see discussion forum).

This is a very helpful lesson for beginners in academic field, it would be better if it can teach the students further tools and strategies in information seeking

If you have made it to pase your sophomore year in college, this course may offer little benefit aside from directing you to useful online reference sources.
