The course content is great, but peer evaluation is simply useless and almost random. This specialisation needs to introduce an actual final assessment by an actual expert, not peers.

I have learned so very much. All of the courses in the specialization have been taught in a way that has been easy to understand. I will miss Tamy Chapmans smiling face.

I think the course structure is quite great but the scoring by peer-grading method still needs to be improved. Some students who enroll in this course have quite the same knowledge and writing skill in the same level as me. I wonder how they could give the scoring based on actual standard grading.

I had an impression writing a research paper is difficult before taking up the course. But the step by step pedagogical assistance and gradual increase in complexity in each courses helped me to complete a research of my own and created a lot of interest to do more research writing.

I consider this course a very good one, well-taught, an appropriate capstone of the academic research writing specialization. Owing to the fact that the previous courses already involved academic essay writing assignments, it came rather easy to me to write the final most comprehensive one of at least 6 body paragraphs, obeying the rules learned. I am much more confident now to write a good essay in English using apropriate, academic language, and terms like thesis sentence, in-text citations, works cited page and plagiarism are very familiar to me.

This capstone project is the final touch for students to becoming master in researching, citing the sources, given the credit to who ever deserve it. It made me remember the taught courseworks I went through when I did a Master Degree! Now I plan my Ph.D. it will be the angular stone! Thanks coursera for this outstanding and critical thinking and advance writing course for academic foreign language.

It was such a good experience, I enjoyed the complete Specialization from the 1st to the last day, it was challenging I must admit, but and unforgettable and useful journey. I was not very attracted to the field of letters but at this point I changed my mind, I would recommend this course and the whole Specialization to everyone.
