Some aspects regarding the audio of the lessons could be improved, but overall the flow and weaving of each topic was great!

Nice overall, it would be better if the lecturer could provide more detail information and project or case studies for SEO, API, etc.

Links to some information are irrelevant to technical writing. Why do I need to read how to revise the draft of a creative story (and the article itself is very hard to read and looks like an emotional post on reddit rather than a professional article too)? Or why do I need to read how to create a good post for a blog? Since the course is about technical writing, I expected it to contain more professional references connected to technical writing and not just writing. Also, the quiz for the 1st module contains 20 questions and at least 6 of them are the same, some are not even rephrazed. The quiz looks sloppily made as if someone just copypasted the questions and didn't bother to proofread it. It gives a bad impression about the course that is all about preparing, revising, proofreading and finalizing the text before publishing it.

A technical writing course should include writing assignments... but aside from that, the information in the course is redundant and repetitive, and the external sources provided don't always link to an actual article to read. Additionally, sources that do have direct links are often to blog posts or other unverified sources. I will not be taking another Coursera course, and wish I could get my money back for this.

Occasionally informative, though basic concepts were often over-emphasized and repeated, despite more important information missing context. I also wish they provided technical writing exercises and prompts to help us actually apply the information taught.

This seems to be the exact same class as "Writing Effective Technical Documentation". Please remove the redundancy.

The instructor mispronounces many words and there's a lot of background "honking/beeping". Both issues are a major distraction from what the instructor is trying to teach. I have had to use closed-captioning subtitles to understand what he was trying to say.
