It was the worse experience I have so far on Coursera Platform; the course itself was sloppy and with nearly zero content. The instructors spent too much time telling you what you will learn and talking too slowly as if wanting to fill in the gaps than actually having some worthy material prepared for all the "pupils" out there, who gave their time, effort, and commitment. Pity really.

This course was designed to introduce me to different genres of business writing. By the end of this course I was be able to: identify different written genres, use basic writing strategies, and compose basic report writing. I definitely feel more comfortable in business communicaton. Now I fortunately have guidelines for doing this and also I will have success in Business Writing. Thanks to proferssors Thanks to University of Hong Kong

The course materials and subjects are very useful, but the time to complete all the section is tight and also the peer-grade assignment part is very difficult to invite other peers to grade so that the finished time will be delay.
