One of my favorite classes on Coursera. If you need to polish your writing skills, I recommend this course. The instructor did an amazing job covering the challenges we have with grammar and style.

Some answers and solutions are actually subjective, nor right or wrong, yet we are scored badly for them. The material is not generalised in terms of teaching writing or even business writing, and takes an often individualised or biased approach to structuring sentences. In one or two instances, I found that I was correct and the copy was wrong, such as misuse of commas. Then again, this might be down to the differences in UK and US English and grammar teaching.

Thank you for creating this course, I found it helpful. But I did not like the format where 3 people were talking. I feel the peer review section is a little disorganized as well. My honors distinction is stuck because it is not reaching to the other students automatically.

This is a good course, but it focuses on writing principles and techniques I learned as early as fifth grade. It's a good introduction, but not great for experienced learners (in my opinion).
