peer review
The Peer Review process is open to abuse, but don't let it prevent you from learning and being who you are, education is about growing as a person, so grow, grow, grow!
This course will build your foundation and their idea of peer review and topic practice will help you to make this foundation solid.
Peer review system enables you to know what exactly graders are looking out for.
My biggest issue and why I didn't give it 5 stars if the grading is via peer review and this meant a long wait and lots of begging PLUS getting only one word reviews such as great.
I think the course is very good, but the peer review grading should be improved!
Perhaps more disturbing is that most of the (apparently) native English speakers seem not to have taken any notice of either the lectures or the peer grading rubrics.Despite the shortcomings in the peer review process the material is well presented and offers a strong framework around which students can build good effective essays.Once again, the lack of a forum in this course makes life unnecessarily difficult and frustrating and for me pushes my rating down from a low 4 to 3 stars.
Didn't learn much of anything at all, the peer review system is lazy on the Teacher's part, and half of my classmates couldn't even speak proper English, let alone write it.
Mostly because the peer reviews were strict and unforgiving and as an experienced, essay writer, I didn't feel I needed the rigid, boring academic structure required for this assignment.
There is a problem with the peer reviewing of the assignment.
Peer review assessments in this kind of course, with more complexity, are a little bit annoying.
I don't really like the peer review system as people were unfair and then gave rude comments or just untrue/ unhelpful advice.

high school
Thank yiu Recommend this course to high school and college students.
They seem more suited to young High School students rather than would-be college level writers.The big issue is in the peer assessment process which forms the centre of the practical experience in the course.
While some of the materials are interesting in this course, it gives a very "high school" feel rather than providing help with college essay writing.
It would be helpful to have this course more geared towards college academic writing and have more emphasis on developing ideas, finding resources to support ideas, synthesizing, paraphrasing and all the other skills useful for college academic writing.I assume most people who come to Coursera are above high school level.
