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

A technical writing course should include writing assignments... but aside from that, the information in the course is redundant and repetitive, and the external sources provided don't always link to an actual article to read. Additionally, sources that do have direct links are often to blog posts or other unverified sources. I will not be taking another Coursera course, and wish I could get my money back for this.

Occasionally informative, though basic concepts were often over-emphasized and repeated, despite more important information missing context. I also wish they provided technical writing exercises and prompts to help us actually apply the information taught.
