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.

Hurley Write was great in helping me think of ways to improve my writing. I enjoyed looking at examples and rewriting them using the lessons she had just taught the class. My only detraction would be that alot of the information she spoke about was not captured in her notes. It would have been nice for her notes to have more of the details she wrote on the board.

Hi Christophe, I'm a bit puzzled by your response that much of what I talked about wasn't in the workbook; in fact, the lecture followed the workbook exactly, so everything that I discussed was, in fact, in the workbook. The workbook doesn't include everything that I say, of course, because part of engaging the learner is to have the learner listen and make notes. Thanks for your feedback!

Completed a one day training at the company I work at and really appreciated the practical information shared and application using documents provided from the company. The training included skills that can have immediate impact and the course material was presented in a balance manner that made the day seem to go by quickly. Pam Hurley was the trainer and she did an excellent job keepng everyone engaged. I work in research and development so it was great to learn that regardless of the type of document, the writing principles explained hold true.

Thank you so much! I greatly enjoyed working with your groups and am so glad that you find that you can begin to use the strategies we taught immediately.

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.

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.

Thanks! The workbook has lots of examples and the content is designed to be instructive. In addition, participants have multiple opportunities to apply concepts, which are designed to give them real-world experience and "something to hang their hat on." Keep in mind that the examples we use come from workshop participants and therefore the number of examples are determined by these samples; for this workshop, only about 1/5 of participants submitted samples, although all participants were invited to submit.

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.

I think the classes provide a good foundation with thought-provoking ideas for individuals who want to know more about writing. Pam and MJ make it easy to understand and are very timely with critiques of the writing assignments.

I would suggest two follow-on courses. 1. Advance writing 2. Oral presentations After taking the first course, it would be nice to have the ability to submit writing examples via computer based training - possibly over several weeks.
