A detailed review of one of the most important skills in academic research: information seeking. In particular, I enjoyed the tutorials on Mendeley and reference management tools. Highly recommended!

Very interesting course, better done when in an academic context and with an ongoing project to carry out the exercices for. If you don't have access to a university library, you will be very limited, but the course presents some alternatives for us professionals who are still interested in researching and documenting our work with a more scientific approach.

I adore everything in this course. Each explanation works for me and it loads of great knowledge and know-how across defining information needs, accessing online resources and upgrading my skills towards Mendeley since I have been using the application for years.

I really liked this course - it was short, useful and to the point. Would love to see a follow up on how to take notes of lectures, books and journal articles so that they can be used to build an essay.

The basic knowledge on doing academic research online covered in this course should truly be taught to every student. This course is worth taking and will have long-term benefits!

Although I knew much of the content of this course, I still found the review of this knowledge useful. I recommend this course for beginning academic writing and university students, but I think the content of this MOOC could have been richer and more practical.

It was a fast and educative course that brought a lot into perspective. Although, the links along the way contain 400 errors and some crashed. They should look into this.

Objective. Very good material and good practices to help you better build a bibliography for research purpose. Sometimes the multiple answers quiz can be tricky.

Apart for some slightly confusing breaks in the sentences for some speakers, it was very good and relevant information.

Very informative and interesting. I find that the exercises did not contribute enough to understanding the material.

too general, it might be more interesting if it is focused on specialties: for example seeking information for health professionals

The course has become outdated because of technological advancement. Mendley no longer offers the features discussed in this course. This course needs to be updated/revised.

This is a great overview of the resource or reference collection processes for academic literature review endeavors - be it narrative or systematic. While I highly recommend this course for college students who are about to work on their research requirements, I personally found this course useful beyond that stage in helping me identify best practices to improve my own work. Personally, I thank this course for finally convincing me to routinely use reference management software products - something that I wish I started doing roughly a decade earlier.

This is one of the best course I have completed regarding Preparing a Scientific, well written Research. The course is organised in the best way to support learners in academic information seeking. After the course, I was able to identify my faults which I have done before in conducting research. Thanks to all the amazing instructors. But it would be better if the course offered us a Mendeley group with active users. The group is unavailable now.

This course is very thorough and detailed. As an IT specialist, I have had no exposure to formal research and needed to understand the process. Now I can clearly and confidently say that I can perform good research and obtain formal information and data on any topic, as opposed to just surfing the internet for genuine knowledge. Great course, well done to the instructors.

This course was extremely helpful because, as a university student, it helped me understand the proper steps toward citing and documenting my research paper and avoid plagiarism. And the instructors were very good at presenting their lessons. I highly recommend this course for students, who are unaware or confused of how to document their research papers.
