Loved this course so much! Opened my mind a lot of new things I had no idea about. I also enjoyed the further readings, they were more in-depth and were great reads overall.

The speaker is very well versed with the topic and uses plain and understandable language whilst not sacrificing the quality of the content.

Just finished week 1, so here's a partially done review! So far, this is a *very* beginner friendly course, which I appreciate. There's a lot of good information, and it's well organized. The course itself, I have very little issue with. Though, one note is that on Week 1, I was "taking" the graded quiz ("taking" because I'm not currently upgraded to the paid version, but it suggested I do that to actually submit the quiz once I answered the questions), and I noticed a few issues. First of all, one of the questions seemed to have a typo and/or leak in the answer. The right answer had a * at the end, with no footnote at the bottom. I was also disappointed that, given that it's supposedly paid content (for the grade), I had many repetitive questions in my quiz. I felt like my practice quiz was a better test, sometimes. Otherwise, my only other complaint is that the teacher for the course is at a great volume, but it's not mixed well because at the end of the course, it's suddenly blaring loud with the exiting sounds. Really rough quality of life issue, and I hope that in future videos that becomes less of an issue.

Generally a great primer for technical writing. The test questions are quite easy but they are mainly a reinforcement of the many key concepts covered. This course is more of a starting point to introduce those who are interested in technical writing but unfamiliar with all it may entail. Numerous pointers are given for resources and ways to move forward in the technical writing space.

The course content was comprehensive and instructive. However, I found that some of the explanations from the instructor could have been clearer, which occasionally made it challenging to grasp certain concepts. A bit more focus on clarity and examples would enhance the learning experience for future participants.

Could use some work, extra reading sections are great for the most part or just outdated/lacking in comparison. Tests could use another look over as well. However, don't fully pass on this course. I did learn a decent amount and feel like I can point myself in the right direction from here.

Many of the external reading links contain many pop-ups and advertising. I also found a few of the external reading links to not be very helpful, they seemed a bit teen-like information, and not on the level that I would recommend

The last quiz has incorrectly worded questions. It asks for items that are NOT characteristics. When the answer is chosen, it marks it as incorrect. The explanation shows that the correct answer was selected.

Rating should be encouraged at the end of the course. I have not finished this course so I don't know whether I would find the things I am looking for in this course or not. Till now, it deserves a 4 star.

Nice overall, it would be better if the lecturer could provide more detail information and project or case studies for SEO, API, etc.

It would be perfect if the course would include pdf, words and others as templates and/or examples for practice by us.
