Writing in the sciences, once my greatest fear has turned into a very pleasant challenge. This has been the best course I could take. In the shortest amount of time, my writing skill has greatly improved, and I have a very better understanding of the publication process. I thank Dr. Kristin Sainani dearly for her great course.

It was basic but majority of this skill I lacked, the way Dr. Kristin Sainani delivers the lecture it become very easy and interesting. Similarly the assignments and quiz helped in understanding the concept

I am very happy on completion of the course. To succeed in this competitive landscape, science courses writers need a blend of technical expertise , story telling ability and familiarity with online learning trends. coursera Writing in the Sciences provide a wealth of resources to help individuals excel in online writings.

I really enjoyed this course! It gives students the tools to write in a clear, concise and focused way that they can apply to original articles, reviews, interviews, summaries, etc. The videos are very enthusiastic, compelling and easy to understand. I would surely recommend this course to any of my scientific colleagues.

The course was excellent and enriched my writing ability. I was impressed by the wide range of topics that included much more than basic writing skills. The only thing I would suggest updating is the unit on social media, which can address additional platforms as well as how the mentioned platforms are used today (2021).

This is one of the most informative and educational courses that I have taken so far. I would like to sincerely thank Prof. Kristin Sainani (n e Cobb) for such a comprehensive writing course in such a concise and organized format. I enjoyed the course and plan to use all my learning for writing articles in the sciences.

Ever since taking this course, my overall writing has improved (even as I type this post); I now approach my writing in a whole new way. The course has given me the confidence to further develop my social media profiles, improve my job applications, and deliver editing services to my peers.

The logical organization flows naturally. I recommend this to undergraduate/graduate students seeking to improve their writing.

I think this course is quite useful for beginners, especially those who start to write some scientific papers.

This course helped me a lot, not only in scientific writing but also writing about other topics.

I feel very satisfied after course accomplishement. It completely changed my point of view for writing. Now I believe that writing science text will be more efficient. Kristin Sainani is a great tutor - she provides many tips, examples and talks with experts. She inspired me a lot - I really appretiate her attitude.

Amazing lectures! Amazing professor! Thanks Stanford University and Coursera for this wonderful opportunity to learn and apply the skills in this course.

Very well done Kristin !!! the course gave me a good oversight, practices were great, examples, stories picked up from the latest science and were of various areas. I found them exciting such as the homeworks. I enjoyed each moment of the course. It changed my approach. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

A very good course which enabled me to gain valuable insights to writing and communicating ideas. Many of the tips given were not at all addressed in the course of my previous studies . So I have got valuable information and was able to practice editing and paraphrasing too. Good work and Best wishes !

It is a challenging course for a non native english user like me, but the contents are useful and interesting so I got motivation from every lesson. Your interviews with professional people are so good and helpful for me to understand what is happening in the academic world. highly recommended!
