Hello
friends,
Recently I have completed my
online course of “The Modern and The Postmodern (Part 1)” from Wesleyan
University and secured 100% score.
Here is the screenshot of an e-mail which I have received by Coursera:
This is the third course which I have completed. The
learning experience was very good. Online learning is the best way to learn. It
gives me pleasure every time I learn. There is not any kind of partiality and
the process of learning is student friendly.
In this course I have secured 100%. There
were 7 weeks and 3 writing assignments. The system of grading and evaluation
was different than two other courses which I have completed. There were strict
rules regarding submitting assignments and plagiarism. Words limit was 800 per
assignment. There were three criteria in which peers have to give marks out of
3 points,
Here are instructions:
Argument Feedback: Did the student develop a point of view in the
essay by moving from premises to conclusion using evidence and logic?
Evidence Feedback: Did the student use quotations or examples
from the reading assigned for the week to support their argument?
Exposition Feedback: Evaluate the quality of the writing. Look
for clarity of thought and an organized essay structure. The writing should be
understandable, but do not deduct for errors of grammar or spelling that do not
impede the reader's understanding. Keep in mind that English is a second or
third language for many students, and take this into account when grading.
Here are assignments which
I have submitted.
1) Instructions
How did Kant define Enlightenment? Use Kant’s definition to discuss whether either
Rousseau or Marx is an Enlightenment figure. In other words, choose one of
the following comparisons to write about: Kant compared to Rousseau, OR Kant compared
to Marx.
The essay response should
be no more than 800 words.
I have selected “Kant’s definition of Enlightenment and Kant’s comparison to Rousseau”
Week 3 - Assignment 1
2) Instructions
Compare the role of historical progress in the ideas of two of the following:
Kant, Rousseau, Marx, Flaubert. In your essay, you should put the emphasis on
role, not on an accounting of specific progress.
The essay response should
be no more than 800 words.
I have
selected “Compare the role of historical progress in
the ideas of two of the following: Marx and Flaubert.”
Week 4 – Assignment 2

Instructions
Respond to one of the two following prompts Darwin
wrote that: "Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of
his lowly origin." Compare Darwin's view of the persistent effects of the
past with at least one other writer covered so far in the course (please try to
write about someone you haven't written about in the previous assignments).
OR
Describe how Darwin makes
use of the intellectual traditions of utilitarianism and romanticism in his
work. Compare this use to how another thinker makes use of the past in his or
her own work (this can be anyone covered so far in the course, but please try

I have selected “Describe how Darwin makes use of the intellectual traditions of
utilitarianism and romanticism in his work. Darwin and Romantics - William
Wordsworth”

I

have achieved that goal. Still I am not satisfied and want to enroll more and
more courses.
