I am so lucky to get enrolled in this course. It introduced me to the nuanced ways of Academic research writing and Publishing the Papers. Thank you so much to the Instructor and course coordinators.

This course was a blast to learn through, I've learned so much about using methods of how to write effectively which fundamentally changed the ways of how I should approach writing my own story.

The structure is unclear and so new students do not know how to write essays, how to interact with peers, etc. How the course proceeds and how students are to interact should be made clear at the start. Also: how long is a 300-word essay? I have no way of measuring, and when I completed my first essay it was simply cut off at the end! Why no chance to edit??

I feel that the lecturer could offer more specific techniques of writing instead of the overly free-flow style.

Is a little boring and full of text

It might just be me, but the teacher doesn't really seem to take this course seriously, nor do the peer reviewers. Many of my peers do not speak English as a first language and fail to give valuable reviews on anyone's work. And the video lectures so far have been extremely boring and unhelpful.
