A very instructive course for both native and non-native English speakers seeking to build foundations in journalism. As the editor of a specialized publication looking to gradually transition into traditional journalism and reporting, I found this to be a great introduction to the field of journalism. My only remark is that some of the course material is quite easy for native speakers, although there are ways to make the course challenging even for high-level English speakers.

If you here to report a review for the course then here it goes.

1. This course for both English and journalism

2. The basics ethics of journalism would be taught

3. English lessons are worthy and in most recent form

4. Assessment and game is the best part to cheek the learning ability

4. It is for all in this digital world.

I suggest this course to be persuade by everyone irrespective of age and educational background.

Over the years, I have been studying on different online course sites. And I am proud to say, COURSERA is the best online course site I have access so far. Good Tutors, quality videos graphics, you get chance to share you views with your peers, it also help you to know how best you understand a topic with after topic quiz. So nice and perfect.

The instructors know learners very well. That is why all their videos and assignments are short and effective. This course is recommended to every beginner of the field of journalism.

Highly recommendable

(Reasons: Short videos, flexible deadlines, simple English, varied topics, perfect syllabus and assignments to be graded by other students)

This course is Great. It is the perfect amalgamation of Journalism and English. The efforts of Instructors are highly appreciable. Online staff are also very supportive as they are very prompt to reply to your queries. Devote your time to this course, it's worth it.

I'm grateful for this course because I've gained different essential skills especially about journalism. Thank you Coursera and University of Pennsylvania for this great and unforgettable opportunity.

I dnf this course as I found it quite boring, and it also covers way quite a basic english level.

Too Lengthy course.

First of all, thanks to those who made a course consisting of a lot of learning materials for non-native students. Then thanks to course instructors that made the course are interested.

The in-between lecture quizzes, end of lecture Q&As, and peer graded assessments are useful to keep tab of learners' progress and ensure learners meet the learning outcome at the end of each module. I will recommend this course to those who wish to enhance their writing skill in particular for those who aspire to join the journalism fraternity and/or those whose jobs involve writing technical content and educational materials.

I enjoyed taking the "English for Journalism" course. The instructors left no stone unturned in making the learning journey fun, and I loved the way the learning modules were neatly split down into lectures, quizzes, and peer-graded assignments. As a creative writer, who has mostly written and read fiction, this course was exciting and new. If you're looking for a course to kickstart your journalism journey, this is, hands down, one of the best courses you'll come across online. It has given me a good understanding of what goes on in the life of a news writer, and anyone who takes this course will agree with me. Last but not least, this course is quite adaptable, and practically anyone – whether a recent college graduate, a professional, or someone wishing to broaden their knowledge – can take it. Overall, it was both entertaining and educational.

I am having deep pleasure to have classes of this course! I am from Russia, Moscow city and this course is followed and controlled by the American Center volunteers under support of the Embassy of the U.S. in Russia. Teachers and the way they teach listeners with the Journalism concepts and its principles are very clear, interesting and fun! Now I am on the 4th week and we have already written a small article that was assessed by the same listeners as you from all over the world. It is really great platform not only to get knowledge but also share your ideas. I really appreciate hard working attempts of speakers who lead the course! A big thank you from Russian listeners!

Hello I'm Paul

This Opportunity Was Very Appreciated & Challenging Myself To New Heights Was A Thrill ThThe COURSES MADE ME FEEL AS I WERE ACTUALLY IN A COLLEGE CLASS WHICH MOST OF US MAY NOT GET THAT ACTUAL EXPERIENCEXPERIENCE

COURSERA MAKE YOU FEEL AS IF CLASS IS RITE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS IN YA HOME BUT UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE TO MENTALLY LOCKED IN BECAUSE ITS NOT A WALK IN THE PARK BUT GET CHANCES TO CORRECT YA WRONGS AND RETRY ASSIGNMENTS YOU MAY DIDN'T DO SO GOOD FIRST FEW TIMES.

BUT COMPLETING YA COURSES GIVES YOU A FEELING AS IF YOU FINALLY GRADUATED 🎓 AFTER ALL THE HARDWORK. 🙏 THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY & EXPERIENCE

The syllabus was awesome. The two professors were amazing. They could convey concepts in a way you could retain the information long after the course. That was a major feat. When I watch a news program on CNN or BBC now, the terms I have learned from the course literally jump at me, such as, "the 24-hour news cycle is presenting a human interest story on the untimely death of Anthony Bourdain". I appreciate news reporting with new eyes and ears. I never thought I would need a refresher course on grammar, but I picked up a lot of useful pointers from the language use section. It is a brilliant course!

The English for Journalism course offers a unique and innovative approach to learning or refreshing one's journalism skills. The course is designed to be user-friendly and highly engaging, providing ample opportunities for active participation. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the assignments, relishing the chance to share my own insights and ideas. One of the highlights of the course was peer-to-peer reviews, as I learned a lot from their unique perspectives. Their brilliant insights proved to be a real eye-opener, broadening my understanding of journalism and the field of communication.

The English for Journalism course is best for people from all walks of life. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional, this course will enhance your understanding of journalism. The course is divided into five perfectly structured modules featuring reading material, practice quizzes, and graded assignments. The language-specific lectures and tasks will help you improve your language skills, while the content related to journalism will help you become a better journalist. Overall, this course has added to my skill set and will help me perform better at work.

Wonderful course! Very structured, informative, and fun. If I were in charge, I would transform this online course into a longer, at least 4-part program with more “exercises”, more assignments to practice in ESL and writing. Thank you to the creators of this course and the instructors who were great! I really like the differences in the teaching manner and pronunciation of Mr. John Cotton and Ms. Eve Litt, - thank you very much for improving my English skills. P.S. Can I now tell my friends that I 😉took a course at the University of Pennsylvania?

ENGLISH FOR JOURNALISM... IS A CATCHY AND UNIQUE COURSE!!!!

THE FRIENDLY WAY OF TEACHING IS REALLY CATCHY AND REMARKABLE BECAUSE IT USES THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE TO BE LEARNED BY EVERYONE WHO ENROLLS TO BE PART OF THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM.

THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ACTIVITIES ARE INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY OFFER A VARIETY OF OPTIONS INCLUDING THE DIVERSITY OF LANGUAGES AND PEOPLE WHO EVALUATE OTHERS BY CONVEYING THEIR OPINIONS OR COMMENTARIES ABOUT THE JOURNALISM.

NEWSATELLIVE, DAVID VELÁSQUEZ... EL SALVADOR!!!

I truly enjoyed and loved this course, I'm majoring in modern languages, so of course my main field is directly English, German and French education. I looked up at this course and found interesting the curriculum and assessments. I hope in a near future I take a master's degree in journalism, I love to read, inform myself, express my ideas through text and passionate about writing too. If you look forward to being a journalist or love to write, this course is perfect for you!!! highly recommended.
