TOP REVIEWS FROM INFORMATION & DIGITAL LITERACY FOR UNIVERSITY SUCCESS
This course was really very amazing. Through this course I learned a lot. I became familiar with the things which I did not know before. Thank you coursera for offering such amazing course.
An excellent course! I wish I had knew this before I started college. I am in grad school now and I am so thankful I came across it.
After completing the course, I found that I improved many skills and also changed many of my prejudices. Make it easier for me to control everything.
I find this module not easy as this is my first to do intense referencing and digital literacy was my weakness. Thank you for the accumulated knowledge you have passed to me.
