5 stars for information gathered in course, but only 3 stars due to the slow peer-grading process. (Average of 4 stars). I did enjoy the quality videos and the passion of the instructors. I took tons of notes and have a lot to pass on to my students. The course was wonderful, but Coursera needs to update how they handle the peer-review process (quite tedious with minimal helpful feedback).

The course is great for beginners into the filed of learning to be reporting. I am happy i signed up for it though it was a bad time at work to focus on the course but I did. I look forward to completing the remaining courses required for specialisation. Thankyou coursera and the Michigan State University for the opportunity.

Thanks to Michigan State University faculty members and Coursera for this specialization course on journalism. This course will test your journalistic ethics, integrity, credibility, and decision-making at every step. I look forward to completing many such exciting courses on journalism in the coming weeks.

'What is news?' is a part of course of Become a Journalist: Report the News! The traveling through this first course is good easy. Not too much of pressure and burden. It will be good for participants to have multi-way thinking ability to know practical answers whenever doing quizzes and assignments.

It was a very benefical course for every student who studies Journalism or for the people who works as a journalist. However, what was taught was very basic. So I would like to have more practical training or study more examples from any kind of journalism.

The Course Videos and Language is very easy to understand. The Way Of Teaching and what is need to student, they can teach to us (this is best way to teach in online).Lectures are deep into the concept .Finally than you for the lecture and course.

The course met my expectations and was much better in fact. It was informative and opened several new doors to Journalism. I believe this will be a great stepping stone for my career and thank Michigan State for granting me this opportunity.

I am still taking this course and I am really excited to take the other courses in the specialization. The topics are covered with in- depth analysis and I am very much satisfied with course content.

I learned a lot about news I didn't know before I started and that was my goal. I don't agree with peer review process it lacks the expertise of the faculty whom we are learning from.

Material is great, and have submitted everything early. Just waiting to be peer reviewed and have people to peer review so I can finish this module completely.

Thank you very much. I learned a lot about the basics of journalism about how to be honest, accurate, genuine and follow the right path as much as possible

very good course to start with journalism career and also there are terms and things I learned here and didn't learn yet in a mass of communication faculty

I enjoyed this course. As I stated in my review of the second course, the instructors need to make sure the prompts for the peer-graded assignments match.

It is very effective and introduces news media in a very easy to understand way. The ethics covered here are fundamental for any journalist.

A great place to start for blossoming journalists. This will teach you basic skills that you utilize many times in a journalism career.

Awesome course on ethics of journalism and also describes how to gain the TRP news channel or websites etc. sensationalize the news

I have always dreamt to be a journalist. This intro course really helped me to understand journalism in a more comprehensive way!

This course would be a little underwhelming on its own, but it works great as an introduction to the 5 course series.

very engaging, and has shown me that credible content and engaging content do not have to be seperte from each other.

The course is quite interesting, but I have not given it a 5 star because the quality of some videos is very poor.

Very competent, prepared personnel. Gives a good mini-glimpse of the profession and provides unique insights.

A nice overview of journalism's purpose, highlighting the tasks and hurdles involved in reporting the news.

This is a basic theory course of journalism. The teachers are very nice, and very clear explanation.

Great, but sometimes I feel as though there could be a little more detail and exploration!

It is hard to finish the homework of reviewing works , because the amount is really small.
