Everything was great! (I know we're not supposed to say that, but it fits.) The only minuses: (1) Many of the online resources are outdated. (2) Because the course is so old, the interaction on the forums was not very lively. However, that is not why I'm taking the course. The positives: (1) Denise Comer is very good teacher. She comes across as empathetic toward her students, and interested in their progress. She's not afraid to contradict some of the reigning ideas about good writing and give her own opinions, many of which I shared. (2) The content - short lectures, mini-quizzes to keep us attentive. (3) The assignments - clearly defined, excellent rubrics, but still allowing freedom of expression. (4) "Guest" writers and speakers to keep things varied and to draw on their expertise. The "op-ed" mand especially! That's all I have to say, but thank you to Duke and Coursera for an excellent and free resource.

English Composition I is an extremely detailed, comprehensive, easy-to-follow and well-thought-out course to help aspiring writers as well as academicians. Dr. Denise Comer, the course instructor, has a very engaging style. She is also very encouraging and makes everything sound very easy, which makes one confident that he/she can do well. Other experts have also shared their insight through videos which are very helpful. Readings and various websites provide guidance and assistance throughout the learning process. The grading system is also thorough. I suggest that if possible, lowest scoring students should be given some kind of a personalized feedback in order to encourage them to do better or address their weak areas. I will definitely recommend this course to other people.

This course has taught me, so much. I am thankful to our course professor Denise Comer for her cooperation and smile that made this journey truly possible. Thanks to the classmate who has always been generous and reliable in giving feedback. I have learned to hold a purpose and I will always use academic rules for writing. When I started this course, I never relay on myself or do a work that contain self-assessment but now I sure do. It has boost up my confidence in learning. I was so happy to meet and interact with people through their writing. I was so much fun. I will miss this course but I assure you that I will never stop my writing process. Thank you.

The course offered some nice tips, and opportunities to work with different writing tasks. I liked the freedom to choose my own topic of interest to write, while still being directed on what type of writing I had to do (visual analysis, case study, etc.) I also liked how I had many chances to read others' works, which allowed me to grow as a writer. However, every assignment was peer reviewed. I have no guarantee that my writing is actually good when I receive a high grade. There are also some peers that are lazy and provide no feedback whatsoever. I would have liked a professor to read through at least one of my written assignments.

This is an introductory course to writing and explains different forms of composition. It requires a decent effort to understand the instructor's intent, and also requires peer review. The only problem I have with peer review is that a student's work may be reviewed by someone unfamiliar with the course content, or someone who disagrees with the details of the work. I would much prefer feedback from an expert in the course content (i.e. feedback from the instructor carries more weight than that of a random student)

I really enjoyed taking this course. The content is very interesting. I've learned a lot, not only from the teaching materials, but also from reading peers assignments. However, the major flaw of this MOOC, in my personal opinion, is the peer-review assessment. I chose to take the course for free. Nonetheless, I don't think "good", "ok" or "-" can count as assessment. Whether I'm a paying student or not, I still believe there should be some way to ensure a minimum requirement when it comes to the feedback given.
