Getting Started with Essay Writing

good Amazing course, thank so much for this opportunitty.

Thank you so much for providing such program , i have learned alot of things in here !

Thank you so much coursera and UCI.

It helped me so much in writing essays.

I had so much trouble writing essays and here I've learned techniques and the correct way to write in english.

It was a great course and being a master student I have learned so much new and worthy stuff.

i djhdfjkdn I'd like to thank the instructor so much for presenting this very good content.

I love this course so much, for it is an introduction for a non-native English speaker to learn academic writing.

Great it was unforgettable course, and help me so much to write essay.

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.

It is a clear and simply course about how to write an essay.

It's a big challenge for me to write an essay each week.

The course delves into different ways on how to write an essay I leaned about how to write Compare/Contrast Cause/Effect Argument Essays.

My writing skills had improved tremendously!

It help me boost my writing skills so quickly!

I feel like I really improved my writing skills and feel confident going into my sophomore year of high school.

I learnt a lot in this course that surprised me.

I learnt a lot form the teacher.

I highly recommend every non-native english speaker to take this course.

Highly recommended for anyone who is eager to improve his/her writing skills.

If you have some problems with your writing style, I highly recommend you "Getting Started with Essay Writing".

I would highly recommend this session to my friends.

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.
