A very helpful course. My writing has improved significantly in these 8 weeks. I highly recommend this course to everyone. Thank you Dr. Kristin Sainani and Coursera for bringing this course together.
Hello Kristin\n\nThank you for teaching me the basics of academic writing and editing with proper grammar. In this course, I was introduced to the scientific panel which further enriched my knowledge.

•I found this course very helpful in pointing out some things in writing I hadn't though of before or didn't realize I was doing which made my writing less clear and concise. The hands-on exercises helped to solidify the concepts in the lessons.

•Great information for the most part, but some of it was clearly outdated (2012, etc.) and restructured without adjusting the content to reflect the changes. I did really appreciate the general tips and practice in editing/publishing.
por Preeti L S
•It's a great course that provides a great perspective on academic writing. I especially enjoyed the interviews that were included. However, some of the content does seem a bit old, newer versions would be great and more relatable.
por Cristina C
•I thought this was extremely helpful and insightful. I do not like waiting on other to review my submissions. I don't have control over what others do. And I don't have time to plea with others to do so.

•The teacher is very concise and all videos have clear learning goals. You don't spend 5 minutes without learning something. Week 7 and 8 are not that relevant to scientific writing and are a bit boring.
por Gabriel B V
•A good course in general. The first few weeks are really hard for people who are not native English speakers. You should consider the assignments based that not everyone is a native English speaker.
por Sarah C
•Could use more variety in journal examples. Course was a little heavy on medical biology; it would've been nice having examples from other sciences as well. Otherwise, very helpful course.

•It´s a really usfeul course, although basically for beginners. They need to update the part of social media as they data are from many years ago, but you learn in every of their modules.

•This course provides a basic idea of how to approach writing with variety of examples. The course covers some techniques and knowledge that are useful for doing actual writing.
por Massimiliano P
•I have just completed the online course "Writing in the Sciences"; I enjoyed learning new writing techniques and testing myself.I highly reccommend it to everyone! :)
por Jessica A
•Was indeed helpful although in my case the later content was not relevant to my personal situation. I enjoyed the examples and succinct explanations of the content.
por Sumedh A A
•Overall the course was a nice experience and i learnt a lot. But I think course content should be upgraded now (apparently content creation was done 4-5 yrs back).
por Uma M K

Thank you for a good course.

•Very well laid out. Examples provided for all explanations, even the interviews. Very useful for someone who needs to adapt to a new way of writing.
por Abubakr E
•The presenter is well knowledgeable and almost his presentations are clear.
It is benefits for those who wants to learn writing in academic field.
por Dr. S A S
•It is a beneficial course well prepared by the supervisor Dr Sainani
I recommend this course to whom willing to be an excellent scientific writer
por Jacob B
•This course was extremely informative, but a tad boring. It also needs a little updating, especially because social media has become so pervasive
por Victor C P
•Excellent courso. I learned a lot. If i can do a suggestion, i would suggest a little bit more of grammar and less about talking to the media.
por Manar M H
•I got a great experience from this course, but it may be better if we have a direct discussion with the instructor though e-mail or messages
por Daniela M R
•Excelente curso, el material fue muy bueno y las pláticas extraordinarias. Solo me gustaría que fuera un poco menos de tiempo por semana
por Luca L
•Very good introductory course. Not much interactive but quite engaging also in this format. I'll recommend it to colleagues and friends.
por Daniela S
•Very interesting and helpful course not only for those who are starting to write scientific documents, but to improve writing skills.
por Sara A
•This course is great and easy to understand but, the last 2 weeks are not important for someone caring now about scientific writing.
por Anushree D
•This course was lovely and beautiful; however, I feel some of the modules were too detailed and some topics could have been omitted.
