Informative Scientific Writing Course Good ideas on a variety of ways to improve scientific writing that can be implemented immediately. Easy and energetic style of teaching with humor thrown in to keep the attendees paying attention. Recommend as a first time or refresher course.

Writing Scientific Papers and Delivering Presentations Course The class was excellent, with many opportunities for feedback and practice. For anyone who has to write or present, the tools, techniques, and concepts covered are invaluable. The organization I work for seems to assume that scientists and engineers learned everything they need to know about writing technical papers and delivering presentations in college, and doesn't see a need to provide ongoing mentoring and training, other than informally. Hopefully that can be changed.

Customized one-on-one writing tutoring I've chosen to do business with HurleyWrite twice in recent years (once for an employee, this time for me). The Technical Writing online course was high quality both times. Pam adjusted the emphasis in her feedback for skill development, depending on the ability and needs of the person taking the course. The aspects I particularly appreciated were the ability to use 'real' writing projects (not busy-work assignments), the quick turnaround on documents for review (and the quality of the commentary provided), and the concise written take-away items. I finished the course with practical tips that I will actually remember and use -- and a writing project that shows progress made.

The classes are knowledgeable and informing. Pam provided various writing examples and demonstrated how to improve writing of documents. Focusing on the subject and getting to its point Not using a lot of extra wording or “fluff.” The class makes one more cautious of their writing capabilities.

Writing class The class was very informative and well organized; the only one detail that I would work on is the materials that were distributed in class. While the packaging is professionally done, the content needs to have more examples and something that the student can take home and “hang their hat on”. The instructor is very knowledgeable and has a wealth of information that she lectures therefore, if that information can be captured in the hand out that would make the class a 5-plus star.
