I thought the online [technical] writing course was very well-designed and gave me new insights into the entire writing process. It enabled me to present my ideas for proposals with a better focus and I was able to capture new ideas for a larger audience base.

It's really great to see these courses on offer.

-- Neurosurgery, Integra.
The course was useful on two fronts. First, it should approve my writing as I work at applying the lessons until they are integrated into my technique. Second and possibly more important, the course provides insight into to technical writing that will make accepting criticism less stressful. The stress comes from not understanding where all the red came from it is not a matter personal preference, but accepted standards.
-- Keith M. Groth, CIH, CSP, Industrial Hygiene Program Manager, IHI Environmental
First, I would like to thank you so much for such an interesting course and for answering all my questions whether they were assignment related or off-topic. I enjoyed so much learning and interacting with you. I did learn a lot during the last 6 weeks. The course was so interactive and I so enjoyed all the dialogues we had on each assignment. I also liked the idea of resubmitting assignments as it gave me a chance to spend more time thinking on my assignment and amending my solution.
-- Engineer, Canada
It has been pleasure taking this online course from Hurley Write. Your effective and positive feedback has made this a very enjoyable experience. I've learned so much in a very short period of time.
-- Paula Thompson, Technical Writer
While taking the online course, I began editing some of our workplace documents to better reflect the concepts taught in the course. A letter that I edited, based on the concepts taught in your class, is going through its final phase of edits by management.
-- Hydrologist, Bureau of Reclamation
