Замечательный курс, рекомендую всем соотечественникам, не только тем, кто в процессе получения высшего образования. Материал прекрасно структурирован, практические занятия разработаны грамотно, Навык, полученный в результате прохождения, в идеальном мире должен быть у каждого взрослого человека. В России к сожалению, аналогов таких курсов очень мало. Уровня intermediate достаточно, чтобы пройти материал. Огромное спасибо всем, кто разработал этот курс!

The learning process was quite simple and straight-forward. However the final assignment was frustrating to complete due to bugs and broken links. The peer to peer review system still has flaws as the review screen becomes a mess of interloping text, making it impossible to read the submissions.

The course is very good.

But I am NOT SATISFIED that the it takes the University such a long time to complete the Peer Assessment. It has been more than 2 months and I still have not obtained my certificate. If there is no peers doing the assessment, my course status will forever be in 'Progress'. I feel that it is the responsibility of the University and the course leaders to mark our work and award the certificate so that we can graduate from the course. There are many many of us are in this situation.

Please review the course SOP so that those who take up the course will have a enjoyable journey and also proper award. For now I make sure I stay away from any courses in Coursera that asks us to do 'Peer Assessment' as we will never get the certificate. My HR dept will not regard that I have completed the course without the certificate, which is very upsetting as I had spent many hours completing the course.

Thanks for looking into the matter urgently.

The course offered by the University of Sydney is incredible! It has lots of useful information and tips that help us a lot during the university experience as a student or researcher. It is a dense and information-rich course, and I recommend to write down the information that the lectures provide so that you can use it more effectively when you need it. It was a very good experience, with only one caveat. At the end of the course, when it was necessary to wait for the marks that the colleagues in the course would give to your work, unfair and unjustified evaluations were made, which took some time to earn the marks that were fair and deserved for my work. Other than that, everything was perfect.

With me, that course helps me a lot of things. In the university, I really don't understand how to research information, how to make essays, articles and especialize in how to reference. After the course, I can understand the way to make research online and I don't scared of plagiarism. However, I think the course has a limitation which is discussion and asking questions for lectures. See all, I believe that course is good to learn.

The course is well put together and opens up several areas for reflection and skills building. It is helpful as a foundational course on the skill necessary to make a start at university education. Well done!!

Please note however, that in the final assessment there is a resource whose weblink leads to a '404' page since the resource has been moved or deleted. Thus it is not possible to answer Part 1, Source 3 in the assessment.

it gives a lot of knowledge needed to serve in my studies, such as how to make an effective online profile as well as benefit myself. Help me understand how not to be plagiarized text in the way the project is presented from attribution to citation. and many other skills are really cool

The course is exceptionally well-designed and engaging, offering a wealth of valuable information. However, it is important to note that the peer-graded assignment may require a more balanced approach to ensure fair and accurate assessment.

This course taught me a lot of skills I needed to start college. In addition, I enjoyed studying while hating doing my schoolwork and watching the smart instructors give lectures on videos. Definitely a worthwhile course.
