The best course I attain in Coursera. I struggled a lot to write my first manuscript and it took a lot of time. This course is beneficial for all scientific students. I highly recommended this course.

Great course. I am not a scientific writer, but it taught me a lot about writing in general. The videos are fairly long, but packed with information. I highly recommend.

An excellent course I love the "hacks" that are teaching here. The teacher takes her time to make a really clear point, allowing to learn how to write in science. Thanks

Great course that breaks scientific writing down to easy formulas. Sections on social media and are little out of date, but the principals of good writing are timeless.

Me ha servido mucho como estudiante de PhD; ojalá hubiera conocido el trabajo de la Dra. Sainani antes. La Dra. tiene una forma de enseñar que es más que aconsejable.

This course gave me more confidence in academic writing. The only thing I'd like to add is that information for writers of the liberal arts was not really addressed.
