I believe that my initial submission of my final assignment was graded by a person who had a low level of English proficiency. COURSERA NEEDS TO INSTITUTE LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY Standards for students, whether it's for a course taught in English, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic, or any other language. The students should meet reasonable standards of language proficiency for the language the course is presented in.

I suspect this because I SAW A LOT OF VERY POOR EXAMPLES OF ENGLISH USAGE IN THE FORUMS of THIS COURSE. I also saw this in the final assignments of other students. If I am correct about that, that is unfair to everyone taking the course, as this course is presented ENTIRELY in English. I am GLAD that this course is available to students around the world, but they should have to demonstrate proficiency in the language in which the course is given.

If I were taking a course presented in Hindi (or ANY OTHER LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH) and I wasn't proficient in Hindi, then how could I be expected to comprehend and accurately grade the work of a student who writes in higher-level Hindi than I could comprehend? It would be gravely unfair to that student if my poor comprehension of the language resulted in him getting a low grade.

The other possibility is that my original submission was simply graded by a lazy person who didn't want to take the time to read one of my lengthy answers. This is also not fair. Don't do this to your peers. This is serious. It's a graded course.
