Learner Reviews & Feedback for Writing and Editing: Structure and Organization by University of Michigan

I enjoyed the videos and the content within them, but I felt they were often too short and needlessly broken into shorter videos. I understand that this was probably done to break things into more digestible content, but it became rather annoying having to sit through several < 1 minute videos in a row.

I felt a bit overwhelmed with all the reading, not because of the content, but rather the number of options offered.

I would have liked to have seen more practice offered. The quizzes weren’t terribly helpful because they seemed to test your ability to recall information such as author names; this wasn’t particularly helpful for reinforcing the ideas in the videos and reading and provided a source of frustration, rather than information.

There’s even errors in some of these quizzes (Battle and the Ballot); not a good look on a writing course.

expected something more than was given. moreover, nevertheless it is said you can do courses in any order there are too much references to the 1st course.

This course taught by Professor Barry gave me many new ideas and perspectives on how to write better-structured writing. He communicated this information in an engaging and entertaining way. Thank you for creating this course!

Excellent class. Very clear and interesting instruction that is supported by videos and additional reading material.

Everything I expected—and a little bit more. Excellent, consistent structure.

It is often remarked as a general rule that the only way to learn something is to do it. Writing is no exception. If you do wish to improve your writing then write.

With that said, Professor Barry outlines ways in which to analyze your own writing, as well as others. This is invaluable to someone who wishes to improve their communication in the written form. Moreover, Professor Barry teaches how to get better at getting better in the most general sense.

For these two reasons, I have found this course to be immensely impactful on the way I approach writing and learning. I suppose there is no greater takeaway one can wish for in a writing course.

O curso é incrível. Conteúdo interessante, apresentado de forma didática e leve. O professor é didático e engajado. Apesar de ser dedicado a alunos do curso de Direito da Universidade de Michigan, pode ser aplicado a qualquer área do conhecimento. As dicas sobre o uso da língua inglesa são muito boas e proveitosas. Recomendo este curso para todos(as) que desejam escrever de forma persuasiva.

This course has been super helpful. It gave me a variety of readings. My instructor is very smart. He knows the concept at his fingertips and he really takes time to teach. I like how he invites his students to share at the end of the class what they remember from the class. He is a gem.

Professor Barry excels in organizing and communicating ideas in ways that are engaging and revelatory. This course will give you the tools and resources to improve your writing in every area of your life, and the ability to express your ideas effectively and persuasively.

This course was very good. I am learning a lot of good writing skills from both of the first courses that i have taken. The only thing I would do DIFFERNTLY IS MAKE MORRE ASSIGMENTS AND LESS PRATICE QUIZZES.

Excellent review of past learning with many ideas for improving communication through writing. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to be clearly understood as well as interesting and entertaining to the reader.

Great course! There's plenty of materials and opportunities for practice. There's a sense of continuation from one topic to the next; coherence is impeccable.

This course helped me understand how to write good sentences. I knew writing good sentences is important but, being shown how to write was very helpful.

Excellent and inspiring and at the same time very informative and beneficial. Great teacher. Beautifully presented and organised.

Although the courses are designed to be taken in any order, the order taken does support a nice gradual approach.

This is one of the best self-paced online courses I've taken. Thank you for sharing top-notch learning materials.

Best writing course I have ever done. Cant wait to complete the others in the specialization. Excellent teacher!

I really enjoy these courses. Not only do I learn to write better, but I also learn about authors I didn't know.

I may not be a law student, but this was an excellent course to test and rethink my writing strategies.

Professor Barry is an amazing fountain of knowledge and advice about writing skills.

It was an awesome experience for me and I am priviliged to be a part of this course

I'm learning so much. And the optional or suggested readings are really good.

Insightful and lots of different techniques about writing will find you.

Excellent course! Looking forward to the next segment.

Good stuff, practical and instantly beneficial advice.
