This is a great course! I have learned new knowledge that is far beyond my expectation! Highly recommend for young scientists to attend this course to learn basic principles in writing in the science!

Hello Kristin
Thank you for teaching me the basics of academic writing and editing with proper grammar. In this course, I was introduced to the scientific panel which further enriched my knowledge.

While the material was good I felt the level of competency required to finish the course was not that high. I think more focus should be put into how the grading is done. I understand this is difficult to do in an online course as testing methods are limited. All in all I still learnt some useful skills from the course.

Some content was really good and some content felt quite old and out of date (movies from 2012). The course starts with alot of grammar and writing, so just hold on if you are more interested in the scientific writing process since this comes in the middle/end of the course.

I really enjoyed the first four to five weeks of the course. I learned a lot about writing more clear from these weeks. However, afterwards, the course was not relevant. I think the course would be best split between normal science writing, and less common topics.

Informative but way too long! Material could be significantly condensed and some of it presented in powerpoint/text version rather than video.

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.
