swayam courses are interactive, prepared by the best teachers in the country and are available, free of cost to any learner. i learnt academic writing courses in this course. Academic writing, or scholarly writing, helps scholars present ideas, analyze research and construct an effective argument. Though the purpose of scholarly writing can vary among disciplines, this style of writing has many common features. If you work in academia, you may benefit from knowing the characteristics and categories of scholarly writing to help you publish your original work.Dr.Ajay Semelty was teaching very easy to understand all the matters.his learning method is so kindly understand and detail explanation.

This is a really good research course. Very little familiarity with the research before the lesson. Learn more and more about research and publication only after enrolling in this course. I feel confident now that I can accomplish everything without assistance from others. I can do all the research worse after the course is over. Sincere gratitude is extended to all of the class coordinators for their hard work in creating an excellent PowerPoint and for their simple presentation style, which they used to motivate students throughout the course.

It is the very first Swayam mooc online course I have attended.So I was very excited about this course. At first I came to know about Academic writing swayaam mooc course by Dr. Ajay Semalty sir in the 3 day workshop on research methodology 14 - 16 December 2023. It was just the right opportunity at right time. When the registration started, without any further due I enrolled myself in the course. And from then I have been religiously attended all the e content and watched all the course lectures. Thanks for being a part of my research journey.
-
Overall I really like this class because all lectures, assignments, and tests are straight forward. A couple things I dislike about the class are that there should be more opportunities for extra credit and it would be awesome if the final was an objective essay about what we have learned in this class or what we like about the class. I believe that I have more knowledge about ocean, weather, and marine lives and hopefully, I can use them in real life.
The course was everything you said it would be, fun but a lot of work. And it was! -
