Dear Prof. Satu, Dr. Ellen and Dr. Cecilia,
Glad to write you. Thank you for developing this very informative and interesting MOOC lecture schedule and make it available e free for all the students around the world wide.
The course is very informative, interesting and I really enjoyed.
However I've important suggestion, which will help future fellows. It is very hard to navigate and follow the whole lecture series. Therefore I'd like to suggest you, make a PDF book for whole program step by step with all the required text materials. so a student can first register to this course and get download book and print. Then while reading the book, he can listen to the video lectureres and follow the guideline and do the online tests.
Since this is a writing and reading focus course I really feel having course book will be really important and useful. Also with that this program will be more effective and friendly to follow.
I greatly appreciate you all contribution and big thank for you three, Lund University and the coursera team.
Kind regards,
Akila

Writing in English at the university level can be both challenging and rewarding. Here's a review and some key points to keep in mind: Academic Rigor: University-level writing in English is expected to be academically rigorous. This means you need to conduct thorough research, critically analyze sources, and present well-structured arguments. Clear and Concise Language: Clarity is crucial. Use clear, concise language to communicate your ideas. Avoid unnecessary jargon and complex sentence structures. Grammar and Style: Pay close attention to grammar, punctuation, and style. Inconsistent or incorrect use of language can detract from your message. Citation and Referencing: Understanding citation styles (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) is essential. Properly cite all sources to avoid plagiarism and to give credit to the original authors. Critical Thinking: University writing often requires critical thinking. Challenge existing ideas, analyze various viewpoints, and present well-founded arguments. Structure: Organize your writing logically. Use introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions. Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence and should flow cohesively. Research Skills: Develop strong research skills. Utilize academic databases, libraries, and online resources to gather high-quality information. Peer Review: Don't hesitate to seek feedback from peers or professors. Peer review can help you identify areas for improvement. Editing and Proofreading: Always edit and proofread your work before submission. This step can catch grammatical errors and improve overall clarity. Time Management: University assignments often come with deadlines. Time management is crucial to ensure you have enough time for research, writing, and revision. Individual Voice: While adhering to academic conventions, it's essential to maintain your individual voice in your writing. Your unique perspective and insights can make your work stand out. Support Services: Many universities offer writing centers or support services for students. Take advantage of these resources for guidance and assistance. Feedback Utilization: When you receive feedback on your writing, use it constructively to improve your skills. Learning from your mistakes is an essential part of the process. In summary, writing in English at the university level demands attention to detail, dedication, and a commitment to academic integrity. With practice and a willingness to learn, you can develop strong writing skills that will serve you well throughout your academic and professional journey.

In my opinion, the course is excellent. I've learned a lot. However, you should offer the option to upgrade it in order to get a certificate. Not getting a certificate is the only drawback of this course.
