I am an MD and thought I knew enough about scientific writing. Pam Hurley's 6-week online course taught me that I still had much more to learn. Simply excellent!	I've taken online courses before and haven't liked them. I was pleasantly surprised, however, by Hurley Write's online course. It's interactive, fun, and I learned a lot!
The feedback alone on my writing that I received while taking the course made the course worthwhile.	I felt like I had a writing coach for the six weeks that I was in the course. Unbelievable course. Very interactive and fun.
