Sobre o conteúdo
The course develops technical writing skills necessary to communicate information gained through a process of technical or experimental work. The course highlights the factors that determine the degree of technicality of the language and concepts involved. You will learn how to write different technical reports, e.g., laboratory reports, research reports, design and feasibility reports, progress reports, consulting reports, etc. The course also approaches several language, structure, style, and content issues that you can encounter while reporting the results of your research.

Criador do conteúdo
O Instituto de Física e Tecnologia de Moscovo (Universidade Estatal), ou MFTI, é uma universidade russa situada em Dolgoproudny e Moscovo.
O Instituto de Física e Tecnologia de Moscovo foi fundado em fevereiro de 1946 pela Academia das Ciências da Rússia, a pedido do físico Piotr Kapitsa, com o objetivo de criar uma universidade científica de elite. Foi aqui que a pedagogia Phystech foi instituída, permitindo que estudantes seleccionados a dedo elaborassem o seu próprio programa de estudo e investigação sob a orientação de um tutor.

It was a rigorous course covering all the important components of traditional technical writing. Highly recommend this course for all free lance writers, and ESL teachers who focus on developing the writing skill (productive) of language. The delivery was excellent, no gimmicks or props - just the most important approach to being a thoroughly competent technical writer.

I enjoyed learning technical writing course from Coursera. Thank you for introducing such a complicated topic in the simplest possible way.
Very sound testing method. You really need to be attentive. 1 star less because of the last video that seemed to be a promotion for a certain website, felt inappropriate for such a good course.
Do not pay for this course; audit it or better yet, buy a book on technical writing instead.As it currently stands, I can't recommend this course in good conscience, especially if you're paying for it. The presentation is a bit of a mess right now, to put it mildly. The entire "first week" is background information about the university and instructors, along with a short animation related to technical writing with no commentary that seems like it was made to be inserted into a video but was uploaded alone instead. You can skip straight to Week 2 "Characteristics of Technical Writing" and not be any worse off for it. (The video prior, "What's in a name?", could've easily been combined with the course information in a text document or with "Characteristics of Technical Writing" for a more robust understanding of what technical writers do and how it relates to their writing.) For how much the course tries to impress that technical writing should be clear, concise, and well-presented, it fails in nearly all of those aspects.It's not unwatchable and there's solid information to be found, but those are only part of what makes a quality educational video. To sum it up (once again): Do not pay for this course. If you want the information in video format, audit it. If you can live with text presentation, find a book.
Great course and got great insights about Technical Writing. Adding some Technical Writing Tools would have been even nicer. Thanks
