Loved this course so much! Opened my mind a lot of new things I had no idea about. I also enjoyed the further readings, they were more in-depth and were great reads overall.

The speaker is very well versed with the topic and uses plain and understandable language whilst not sacrificing the quality of the content.

Very informative course, but the background noise was distracting e.g., horn honking.

Well structured. A bit simplistic for my level, but overall a good intro.

Very confused about why I got some of these quiz questions wrong. I wish I could attach images here. Then I could attach the results I received from my quiz. Here's an example of one question I got wrong, and I don't understand why: Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of effective technical documents? I chose "Incomplete Information". For some reason, this was not correct. This implies that Incomplete Information IS a characteristic of effective technical writing. Please explain why this is an incorrect answer. I have other examples of quiz answers that are confusing. Also, one of your questions showed an asterisk * beside the correct answer. Was the * a key for the developer to identify the correct answer? If so, it's sloppy work to leave it there, in my opinion, because it gives away the answer.

The lessons are good for complete beginners, but the first exam has a lot of repeat questions and some questions with more than one correct answer. This is not something you would expect from a "credible" course.

Good course, but the instructor's accent is very thick and unpleasant. And as a U.S. westerner, he is difficult to understand. Ultimately, I turned off the sound and read the transcript. :(

Because of the instructor's accent, it took a lot of work to listen to. The writing was not succinct, and I was disappointed. The course structure is good.

The content of the course is super great and helpful. However, the audio narration could be improved by removing background noise (in most videos).

The pronunciation is poor. Material is good and well organized. The CEO was not explained and it is in the quiz

The course is not bad. But it is not so engaging. Also I feel bored while taking the course.

Links to some information are irrelevant to technical writing. Why do I need to read how to revise the draft of a creative story (and the article itself is very hard to read and looks like an emotional post on reddit rather than a professional article too)? Or why do I need to read how to create a good post for a blog? Since the course is about technical writing, I expected it to contain more professional references connected to technical writing and not just writing. Also, the quiz for the 1st module contains 20 questions and at least 6 of them are the same, some are not even rephrazed. The quiz looks sloppily made as if someone just copypasted the questions and didn't bother to proofread it. It gives a bad impression about the course that is all about preparing, revising, proofreading and finalizing the text before publishing it.

A technical writing course should include writing assignments... but aside from that, the information in the course is redundant and repetitive, and the external sources provided don't always link to an actual article to read. Additionally, sources that do have direct links are often to blog posts or other unverified sources. I will not be taking another Coursera course, and wish I could get my money back for this.

Occasionally informative, though basic concepts were often over-emphasized and repeated, despite more important information missing context. I also wish they provided technical writing exercises and prompts to help us actually apply the information taught.

Instructor isn't a technical writer. Content is vague and could apply to almost any kind of writing. Zero specific insights into technical writing. Zero hard examples of technical writing. Probably the whole thing was written by ChatGPT.
