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 with Hurley Write 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.

Great Practical Training 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.

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.

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.
