This was an amazing course that really helped me with my medical writing skills and understanding how making things clear for all audiences can help in spreading scientific knowledge across the world.

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.

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.

In the middle of the course, I realised that I am not interested in this programme. And I do not want to spet my time on it.

I did really enjoy this course. As someone who already has science publications I have picked up some very small and important details. In the beginning I really enjoyed remaking texts. But. Examples of articles in this course were in sphere, where I do not understand the sense. Biology, certain sciences... I am a historian and for me it was very difficult. Besides, I am Ukrainian and English is not my native language. On one side the course teaches that the science must be understandable on the other - I could not even not understand the course parts. It was very disappointing. This is my feed back. Thank you for your work.
