Although the course was meant for law students, I enjoyed it greatly as an English learner, too. The course did not simply teach the participants which words or cunstructions are better for writing; it also covered concepts and ideas helping learn how to work more productively and effeciently, how to manage your time and writing process. I found this course, as well as the whole specialization, extremely useful.

I've been trying so hard to find a course on editing and revision. Finally, success! There was a lot to take in, plenty of good information. The examples, the exercises, everything was wonderful. This was possibly the most useful course of this specialization. Thanks!

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.

Wonderful learning experience. Professor Barry presents his lessons in such a simple formula that it would be difficult to forget these concepts. Besides, I have already started to use some of them and I plan to review the lessons as well.

Such a brilliant course, really! It didn't just help me with writing and editing, but it also helped me develop as a person. Professor Barry made everything enjoyable, and he made me love writing more. I Highly recommend it!

I have learned how to write and edit with practical examples.

The course is good to learn and practice, I am so grateful to Prof. Patrick Barry and Coursera.

Best specialization on writing I've ever taken!

This program was well-organized and the information was well-presented by Mr. Patrick Barry. My previous colleges don't measure up to University of Michigan, and I'm grateful for this opportunity to learn from the best. If I achieve success someday with all that I learned here, credit will rightfully go to all who contributed to this program. I humbly thank you all.

Professor Barry's essays are an excellent addition for this course; reading them helped me see how to apply many concepts I learned throughout this specialization, including the nuance moves and punctuation best practices. Useful way of summing up what being good with words involves.

A wonderful course. It has opened my eyes to the power of editing and has given me the tools to maximize the impacts of my revisions of the final writing product.

Never knew learning could be so much fun. This course has really made me review and improve on my drafting and editing skills. Highly recommended

NOOOOOO! I cant believe this course is over!!!! I Was looking forward to a week four! This course was FANTASTIC! Highly recommended.

This was my favorite out of all 4 courses. Helped me to improve my second language, English and also my first language, Spanish.

I am now with writing and editing skills. Thank you, Professor Berry.

Everyone must complete this specialization! A well structured course.

Really interesting course and challenging exercises.

It was very good.I TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT WRITTING

I learned quite a lot in this course.

Wonderful finish-off for this specialization. I would say the most effective thing about Professor Barry and his assistants' teaching style is how they encourage personalization, self-pacing, and empathy. This specialization not only teaches you how to write well, but even how to treat yourself and others well, too.

The resources are filled with diverse cultures, ethnicities, and more to create an all-inclusive educational experience: for all people, regardless of race, religion, gender, ethnicity, etcetera. Highly, highly recommended if you are at all into writing.

Thank you for a very insightful, inspiring, and engaging course! This was the last of the three Courses I took in this Specialization ( I skipped Course 1 on Words). It was a pretty much helpful and enjoyable experience! Kudos to Prof. Patrick Barry for all the hard work conceptualizing this course/specialization! So much appreciated!
