The course was good. However, the certificate says it is a "non-credit" course. For faculty, this is a big demotivation and let down.

Great Course
The Academic Writing course is well-designed and has achieved the objectives that it has set out for itself. It will be helpful to integrate into the course the importance of using gender neutral language, which could also be part of the overall ethics of conducting research and writing it. Further, the course could also alert the need to understand grammar or know the tools to improve language skills. It is critical for learners who are not native English speakers.
It was a great course, and I thoroughly enjoyed the process of learning and writing; please create more advanced level courses with more writing exercises per module and also different types of exercises for journal writing or discussion etc. Thank you very much
