It was very thorough but I think it could be split into at least two courses. There were a ton of different topics and the lectures were longer than other courses lectures I have taken.
I learned a lot and the instructor was very knowledgeable.

Dr. Kristin Sainani changed my view on scientific writing. Now, my writing is more interesting and I know where to pay attention. I highly recommend anyone in science to take this course. I wish I discovered it years ago. Thank you Dr. Sainani.

A course considered "basic" yet very comprehensive about how to start, or how to improve, your skills on scientific writing. The teacher is really good at communication, and knows how to get your attention and interest. I strongly recommend it!

I loved this course. The first half was specially useful for me as a master's student. In the future, i believe the course could be split in two parts, so students can focus more and exercise each part (scicom + scientific writing for papers).

A helpful course to get an idea about different types of writing (academic writing, social media writing, interview and so on) and to learn useful tips of concise writing. Especially recommend for people who speak English as a second language.

This was a very useful course for me. I have taken on key points on writing clearly for both my thesis and personal writing. I haven't done other types of writing but if I need it, this is a useful resource that I would like to come back to.

A very informative course for upcoming scientists. I highly recommend this course who has no idea about how to start the work with writing. It has a lot to learn far more than writing. Thank you Dr. Kristin Sainani for this wonderful effort.

Still remember the wonderful opening: "for those old here, welcome back; and for those who are new here, it's great to have you." Dr. Kristin is passionate and considerate; it's nice to be with her in the class, and also out of class, I hope.

A good course, and should be mandatory before you submit any paper. Even if you have been in your area for long time. I have done this not with a bio background, and need to filter a bit the instructions, but most of the lessons still stand.

Invaluable course for any scientist. Professor Sainani effectively took me from the pre-writing process through the publishing and interviewing process. Peer-review assignments made me realise I wasn't alone. I am definitely a better writer.

Dr. Kristin, in spite of teaching us the skill & science behind writing, words limit my gratitude toward you. It changed me as a writer, now I am second-guessing every word, obsessed with decluttering and listen to active voice.
Thank You!

The course content was very helpful to understand more about scientific writing. I was glad it also covered other forms of writing and science communication. It would be great if the instructor can provide an additional more advanced course.

Must do if you're a research scientist or even an undergraduate student! The concepts and strategies taught in this course are broadly used by top scientists, why don't you do the same and start polishing your skills? I enjoyed my decision.

The only thing I could say is Just It is an amazing course. I learnt different concepts in the area of writing in the science and more importantly many new words related to understanding science in English, as English is my second language.

Excellent teaching. I am finalizing a manuscript for submission and this course helped, for example, to delete all the unecessary words and phrases to meet the journal's required word count. I highly recommand this course for all writters.

This was my first course at coursera. Absolutely enjoyed taking the classes. Realized so many stuff that I've been doing wrong for so many years. Recommending this for all undergrads, grads and anyone who is involved in scientific writing.
