Great course. Learned so much that will help me be a better writer and editor, not only in the sciences, but in other areas. A fantastic professor, clear thinking, speaking, writing. an inspiration.

The course is very useful, but the fact that all the topics was focused on medical science which I'm not used to, it was very difficult to me to understand some homework due to the lack of medicine-related vocabularies. You may take it into account. Thank you i learned a lot by the way.

Being someone who has always loved stem and had a bit of an internalised hatred towards being forced to write, this course was surprisingly pleasant. Very good and helped clear up some skills that I already had and new ones I didn't as well as helping me with application of said skills.

Totally worth-attending. It is much better than good. From week 5 you will obtain a different perspective on scientific paper. You always knew deep inside that something isn't exactly right with the way you write your papers. Dr. Sianani has done an amazing job putting things in order .

This course helps you to understand the key point for writing science documents. When you follow all the module, you can learn the key point about how to write the article, review comments, and social media. I recommend the people involved in the science filed should take this course.

Writing in Science- a course by Coursera and Stanford- is one of the best. The course engages the student with the logical and simple flow, material, and excellent explanation by Dr. Kristin Sainani. It has helped me to understand better the thought process of writing and peer review.

This course made it easy for me to learn and brush up on my medical writing skills amidst a busy schedule. Dr. Kristin is a great mentor, and I will recommend to my fellow Dental & Medical professionals to go for this course to get hands-on with their medical communications skills.

Be mindful this is high level medical and Science focused, but it the best Coursera class I've ever taken. I had a question early on in the course, and the instructor was quick to respond! I'm currently a technical writing, and I learned a plethora of good writing and research tips!

Very nice material and the presentations were excellent. I believe, i greatly improved my writing but also my reading skills. But, it covers a lot of topics and unfortunately sometimes the approach seems superficial. After you get passed the first 2 weeks it gets really interesting.

This course totally opened my point of view on how a medical paper was written. The module curriculum is logical, the materials are brief, the instructor is humorous! Everything is perfect! Thank you so much, Stanford Online, for bringing such an amazing and essential course to us!

Excellent course! I enjoyed listening to the teacher she is absolutely fantastic and the course is really well presented. I feel like I've learned a lot and I took notes most of the time so I can go back and revise if required. I recommend this to anyone who wants to write/publish.

Amazing! Excellent Teacher, good examples, very useful hands-on tipps! Just like others said, it's like being in a real class and not online! I am not a scientist or student, nevertheless it was worth a lot for me! Only deception: the social media section could have been better.

If you are in the process of writing a scientific -especially a medical- article, you will benefit a lot from this course. It was challenging for me because English is not my native language but if you are in the field, this course also gives you a chance to improve your English.

I have completed a few writing courses and this is by far the stand-out. It is very comprehensive and provides lots of real examples and opportunities to practice.
I highly recommended this for project managers - as often effective writing proves the main barrier to their career.

This free course is a sweet investment.
If you're interested in scientific writing, great! If not, you can still learn much about better writing practices, which is the subject of the first half of the course. The instructor vividly explains the principles with real examples.
