This is one of the wonderful course on Writing that I came across. I highly recommend this course to people who are interested in making their career in writing or prospective doctorate students.

It really helped me develop a broader horizon in not only writing in sciences but in the general skills of writing too. It was immensely useful for me since I'm keen to pursue research in the future.

While the material was good I felt the level of competency required to finish the course was not that high. I think more focus should be put into how the grading is done. I understand this is difficult to do in an online course as testing methods are limited. All in all I still learnt some useful skills from the course.

Some content was really good and some content felt quite old and out of date (movies from 2012). The course starts with alot of grammar and writing, so just hold on if you are more interested in the scientific writing process since this comes in the middle/end of the course.

Informative but way too long! Material could be significantly condensed and some of it presented in powerpoint/text version rather than video.

The course content was fair but the quiz for week 1-3 were unfair to me since they were not specifically outlined within the course material.

Course gave good insight to the writing process. I didn't learn anything new, but it was a great refresher course for me. well done.

This course is good. But it may be inconvenient for general learners because most of writings as examples are medical terms.
