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.

Excellent course! The professor does a great job explaining concepts and providing examples to demonstrate skills and techniques. I learned a lot in this course about writing and I have a new way of thinking about writing and reading in general, not just medical literature.

The doctor was exceptional in specifying what needs to be done especially for first time authors.
This course had helpful, direct exercises that allowed me to practise the taken material.
The peer-reviewed assignments proved to be a very efficient indicator of improvement.

Wholeheartedly I thank the organisers of coursera, Dr. Sainani and all the professors who taught me the valuable skills on how to write a journal article, how to publish the article, how to edit a science article etc.
I'm happy to be a learner of this eight week course!

A great course. You can learn great tricks to improve your scientific writing. Those who are struggling to write a paper; this program is the key they teach about the outline and ways to deal with before starting to write your manuscript. I personally enjoyed this course.

Thanks a lot, mam. This was one of the best courses I ever had on this platform. The amount of effort that the instructor put in, is really remarkable. I hope that the knowledge acquired from this course would help me reach millions of miles in science. Thanks a lot again.

I'm a Computer Science Post Graduate Student from Iran and I would say that despite the more medical orientation of the course, I found it to be extremely helpful in my own field. I strongly suggest this course for the ones who are interested in Writing Scientific Prose.

This was the best writing course I've taken. The lectures are very engaging and cover several important topics in writing. Not only have my writing skills improved with this course, but also the structure of my texts and my writing process. I cannot recommend this enough!

I used to think I was good at writing until Dr. Krisitin showed me that I still had a long way to go! The title looks scientific, but don't be fooled, It is equally beneficial to those who are not into sciences. The course is what I will call "the ABC of science writing".

It was a great course, one of the most complete I have done, and I know that in the future it will help a lot, very clear, with multiple examples and activities to apply the lesson. I loved the way Dr. Kristin Sainani used to teach, congratulations on this amazing course.

The skill gained through this course is essential for people to easily adopt the new discoveries as they will easily understand the issues. The tutors are superb in delivering the subject matter. They make the stuff easy to grasp. I recommend people to take this course.

I needed an enormous amount of time to complete the honor's assignment. I chose a computational topic which posed me enormous problems of understanding. Finally, I got it approved by the original author of the article, but I can nomore upload it to the original course.

It is an amazing opportunity for those people who are struggling in research writing, especially novice researchers. A unique thing about this course is that it is comprehensive and it tells you those tips and tricks which you haven't probably learned in your undergrad.

I found this course to be so eye-opening! The instructor is amazing. All my years of taking advanced science and medical coursework have led to all of the writing problems identified in this course. I have recommended this course to all of my fellow science braniacs.

Thank you Dr. Kristin Sainani! I learned to write more concisely and efficiently using active voice than passive voice. Also, the structure difference between research papers and science journalism for the broader audiences is well explained. This course really helps!

El curso está excelente. Las explicaciones, material y entrevistas con expertos en la materia son de gran ayuda para mejorar la manera en que escribimos la ciencia, y tener un mayor impacto sobre el público a través de nuestras investigaciones. Ampliamente recomendado.

Me encantó el curso, muchas gracias :) aprendà de escritura académica y además, cosas básicas de que debieron enseñarme en la universidad, por ejemplo, la entrevista a cientÃficos, redes sociales para actividad cientÃfica, y los procesos editoriales. Muchas gracias :)

What a wonderful course. It is the first time I have complete one at Coursera, and I must say it has set a high bar. I wish in the future, a longer version of Writing only is provided—the last modules, while very helpful, seem to be a bit more than I currently needed.

I did not expect an online course to contain such high level of efficiency. It was very well planned and I used a lot of the advices in my paper. I recommend people, who just want to start writing their paper, to take this course. It is very professional and helpful.

This course has improved my writing immeasurably, and I believe it helped me gain a promotion earlier this year. There are only two changes I would make: including examples from different fields – not just medical research – and updating the section on social media.

The course has introduced me to scientific writing skills in a very elaborate, understanging and easier way. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole course . The course has refined my writing, reading, skills and has increased my knowledge in depth about scientific writing.

This course helped me evaluate my own writing and apply the writing skills taught in this course, which greatly improved my scientific papers writing. It broke down each lesson with active learning assignments that allowed me to apply the writing principles taught.

I found this course to be extremely interesting and valuable. I particularly enjoyed the practice sessions. This instructor gave practical advice for writers across the spectrum of academia. I would enroll in other courses if I found that she was the instructor.
