A very simplistic overview of necessary skills and helpful writing tips. The videos are a bit slow and the instructor stumbles over her words a lot, but the material is great.

This is very good and I would recommend it, but it is quite short compared to other Coursera courses that I have paid for. I think they should add more content for the price they are charging.

Rather good course. I would recommend to place more links for selfeducation. Also it would be greate to see more examples of business correspondence and key expressions.

Learned some useful concepts for improving my writing (e.g. clarity vs gravity, high-impact words, active voice, editing vs revising vs proofreading etc).

At some situations, the theories were not accompanied with examples and best practices. The lecturer sometimes forgets what to say and less expressive.

Very simplistic course but good refresher for drafting correspondence. The quiz for Week 2 was very confusing though, had to re-attempt several times.

I learned a lot with this course, but there are not so many exercises for students to train the content learned. The lectures are very good.

Good back to basics course. The quizzes don't provide feedback on why answer may be correct/incorrect though is only area of improvement.

The information was very helpful. I would have benefited from quiz explanations I kept getting the same two questions wrong on quiz 2.

Professor spoke too slowly for me. I prefer a slightly faster pace and not as redundant but I understand this was a general course

I feel like some information is too general.
I wish there are more practice on writing instead of just informational materials.

The course was excellent! The only thing that I would change is to have more instruction in writing for social media.

Good enough, but it would be better if there're some writing tasks where I can practise all I got from lectures.

A good brush up and clear information. A bit basic for me personally. This should be stated more clearly.
