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.

All in all, you could just browse blog posts for an hour and get more than you will out of this course. * Horrible audio -- poorly recorded, bad levels, regular honking of car horns in the background. * Significant portions are just links to third-party sites for you to read -- and not all the links work. * Low-effort scraping together of a very broad overview from the Internet. Zero evidence of the "instructor" actually having insight or experience in the industry. * Time-wasting with non-sequitur statements like "Word processors and tools are not just software" to pad runtime.

Instructor isn't a technical writer. Content is vague and could apply to almost any kind of writing. Zero specific insights into technical writing. Zero hard examples of technical writing. Probably the whole thing was written by ChatGPT.

It's too general, and with no examples on how to write. Some of the information are repetitive and the history section is not that important when I want to look for a job.
