The course is well structured to help a learner; however the evaluation on this course is poor. The instructor would be able to give feedback to student who are struggling and helping them understanding the way to correct their mistake. While that can be challenging for an online class that have many registered students at the same time, student should be invited for a live conference where different essays with common mistakes are being corrected and student can ask questions. Another remark is the guide for evaluation, that should be reviewed and updated to a guide that is in correspondence with the objectives of the course.

There is always something new to learn. In this course, I enjoyed the lesson on plagiarism the most. I appreciate the use of MLA style for the assignments. However, I noticed that there were at least four peers (among those whose works were "assigned" to me for review) who were not very serious with the assignments they turned in. But all in all, the course was a very pleasant learning experience. It would have been perfect if we were able to consult the teacher via email even once. But I guess that is too much to ask for a free course. Thank you, Coursera and DOST Caraga!

The course content is really good and serves as a good refresher. The videos are short but meaningful. One can really learn a lot. The audio quality is clear as well. However, the course is too dependent on peers for completion of the course. Also, I am not sure if everybody understood the criteria for checking or some are just giving scores arbitrarily. Just wondering, is there anybody cross checking how the peers are graded? Or is there at least a section in the course where you can raise your inquiry abut the grades received? Thanks!

At this point, I think that the course is good, however there should be more reviews. Three reviews of people who is also learning is not enough, in my opinion. I have received some comments like 'some sentences are not good'. Which tells me absolutely nothing. I think people should be encouraged to exemplify what they mean ,to take the sentences that they believe that are wrong, and extend why.

For the rest, the course is very good.

While I completed this course first, I wish I had started the course in chronological order. I would have understood some critirea for; quizzes, grammer, sentence structure, and formating better. Also, the quizzes would have seen higher %, but again I would highly recommend starting from the beginning. Whether you are learning for the first time or a refesher course it is highly useful! Take notes!

This course was really helpful for people that are interested to enhance their writing skills. This most importantly helps if you want to enhance your skills related to essay writing and research writing. My experience with this course is amazing.

This was a great class for review of what I learned years ago. I only wish I could have participated in the assignments w/o purchasing the class, as I have been able to in all of my other classes. But, I loved the class and would recommend it.

Lecture is great. Resource is useful, too. The only problem is those peer-grade assignments. I'm not getting any effective feedback. Well, I take it seriously and try to give advice when I'm grading others' essays. It just feels not fair.

Fantastic! Good work that the teacher can compact the course section to less than 10-minute videos each week, and it is clear. Easy to grasp . . . help a lot for my initial study! MLA format and work cited page are great too . . . thanks!

It was a deeply enriching experience that enhanced my writing skills, taught me about the delicate nuances of different types of essay writing and prepared the academic groundwork for me to undertake rigorous research work in my field.

The course was very helpful and allowed me to reaffirm information that I already knew. It was interactive, with lots of reading, practice sessions and audio visual mediums. Plus the peer review was a form of self evaluation as well.

Provided contents themeselves are great. I learned a lot from the course. One reasing I scored four-stars is that evaluation criteria on essays focus not on contents but only on template / form. I totally don't like that.

Pena não ter tido acesso as avaliações. Acho que mesmo que não possamos ganhar o certificado, na condição de ouvintes, poderiamos ter acesso aos quizzes.

The material itself was good. However, there are so many others not taking the course seriously so the peer learning sections are garbage.

A good course, but there are some problems with the structure and some repetitions, The part about plagiarism in music isn't necessary.

This course was very helpful in honing my essay writing skills and I would definitely recommend it to other learners.

A good tool to get acquainted with proper writing, how to order thoughts and presentation, supported by evidence.

It's very helpful, insightful. Learned new things by writing my own essays and giving reviews to other students.

It´s good but I think it would be better if a real professor were the one who ckecks the assigments.

I expected being rated by the professionals and not by the strangers who would but whatever grade...

I have learnt so much for doing this course. I have recommended the course to friends and families.

It was really useful. From now on I will start applying everything I've learn in my collage tasks.

It would be extremely useful to me as it is teaching me techniques to write advanced-level essays.

I have learnt how to write different type of essays and how to cite your essays with MLA format

peer review activities aren't really effective, but good videos, assignments and quizzes.
