It is amazing how in a scientific writing course, the answers are rigid. The test gives "fill-in-the-blank" type questions, and you have to guess what the question setter had in mind. It will not accept any synonym or better answers. Also, the course is too theoretical. Writing in the Science course from Stanford University is much more practical and goal oriented. I wish I could remove myself from the course.

46€ later and more than 20 days stuck with no one reviewing my submission, I am wondering why I should not give up this hell.

This is a very useful course that apart from the video lectures presents a comprehensive bibliography supporting key points raised during the study. The delivery of information and a means of control and organization of the forum and peer review process appear to confirm with important contemporary standards of English-language teaching. I'd certainly recommend the course to non-native speakers of English who need to acquire academic literacy skills.

The course contents were precise, simple to follow, and clear to understand. Dr. Elena Bazanova's presentation is very good. My special thanks to her and her team.

I learned a lot about the research article writing etiquette. The course is interesting and engaging the learner. Surely I recommend this course to all who involved in academic research.

I thank everyone who made this interesting course.

This was course hard which made me work harder. I felt like an achievement with the completion as I had put on effort in this course. This is a must course for researchers.

I like this course's style - the sketch and quote in all the videos. Also the lectures are well given, cover many details in writing.

Great course for anyone striving to improve their communication and writing skills in academic environment! Highly recommended

The course lacks for the practice exersises. Instead, the quizes are full of questions like "Present Simple tense is used to write about a special study implemented by a well-known scientist. True or false". The questions of this type are pointless. Still, the videos sometimes contain useful information.

The course is hugely important. In particular, I liked the peer-review assignment. Having someone else read my work really helped me a lot. If nothing else, it gave me a break to refresh my mind before I came back for more editing.

More specifically, participating in peer review has helped me:

· Learn how to read carefully, with attention to the details of a piece of writing;

· Learn how to strengthen my writing by taking into account the responses of actual readers;

· Make the transition from writing primarily for myself or for an instructor to writing for a broader audience.

First, Prof. E. Bazanova started with very basics. At the end of this course, Prof. E. Bazanova was given a great idea how to design a scientific paper. Also, She was provided supplementary material and readings.

This course taught me how to publish my work on high impact factor journals.

My special Thanks to Prof. E. Bazanova and Coursera Team.

I like the recommendations and detailed explanations made by the instructor. Although I have attended many online and life courses on scientific and academic writing there is always something new to learn and master. The take-offs are likely to be used.

I found the course very interesting but was rather skeptical at first as I have tried several different other courses on science writing before. This course has definitely made a difference. I thank the instructor and the team for such a good job.

Excellent course for beginners who want to learn scientific writing. Great explanation of each topic. I liked the peer graded assignments, good way to practice writing and getting reviewed by peers. highly recommended course

I have learned a lot in this course and strongly recommend you to engage to improve your skills! The instructor is skilled and professional. The material is very good and the gains are worth the hard work.

The course contains a lot of a pretty simple things that can make writing much better. It helped me crystallize what I didn't understand about writing a research paper before.

Thank you!

Awesome! I found the course really instructive. I enjoyed it and certainly learned a great deal. Thank you, Elena!

Really inspiring course. It should be recommended to all beginning researchers. Thank you for your great work.

It is very much Informative . I have to come back for references to this course through out my life. Thanks.

Appreciate the efforts behind framing this course. It is very helpful to improve research paper writing.

Good course but you should take into account that some questions have more than one valid answewr
