The instructor did a great job of keeping everyone involved. The in-class exercises and breakout sessions were great!
-- Scientist, EPA, Atlanta, GA
Pam Hurley was asked to tailor a short writing seminar to address the specific client communication needs of our technical staff based on writing samples. Samples included a newsletter, business letters, email, and procedure documentation. She delivered a splendid presentation focusing on more effective communication styles and language. Even our most accomplished authors learned a few techniques to more efficiently and effectively communicate the same material. Great value-added training.
-- Patrick Revelle, Manager, Northrup Grumman
The comments [Hurley Write] made on the SOPs I wrote while taking the online Writing SOPs class were very useful. I have taken all the comments and have been implementing them into the SOPs I been creating. Thanks again for all your help.

Your [online] course was nicely designed for working people as it didn't require lengthy exercises yet repeatedly touched on problem areas. Learning to avoid non-referent pronouns and subsequent considerations of sentence length and wording presented options I'd never considered.
-- Corey Williams, R&D Chemist, Markem-Imaje
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
I have really enjoyed and benefited greatly from your course. Your feedback has been very prompt and always useful.

It's really great to see these courses on offer.
-- Damien Sherlock, Quality Documentation, Galway, Ireland

Before taking the writing series offered by Hurley Write, Inc., I always struggled with giving directions or action items in writing. Now I understand better how to help my readers complete tasks.
-- CRA, Purdue Pharma, LP
I have been very impressed by Pam Hurley's knowledge, presentation, and teaching ability. [Her] courses are useful to people who are interacting with clients, producing documents which may be audited, or using writing skills in their interactions with members of the company. I have attended several writing courses over the past two years, [and] Pam's courses far exceed anything I have attended.
-- Project Manager, PPD
[The onsite technical writing class ] was the best I've ever attended!
-- Sandra Rhodes, ECP/SWE Manager, Bechtel Jacobs Co.
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

Right after Pam's class, we saw a difference in just the emails people who attended have been writing. I recommended [to upper management] that we continue with the course and that we send all of our people through the course.
-- Allen Belle, Computer Associates Manager
It was a great learning experience and I am already employing some tricks of the trade. Thanks

— Frank Poulsen, Quantitative Ecologist, ESSA Technologies
The class "Writing the Scientific Manuscript" was extremely valuable as it established approaches to the writing process that can be used in any writing assignment. The feedback helped me understand when and where I was not getting my point across to the reader. Pam is fantastic to work with and very accessible. I highly recommend this course.
-- Mick Secord, Chemist, Dover Product ID Group
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
Thanks to your suggestions, you help me to understand the areas where I needed to be clearer and more concise. I don't believe that I would have been as comfortable submitting my application without your assistance. You've helped me to strengthen my writing and communication skills and I feel better prepared for future writing experiences. The best part of this experience is that I was awarded the NRSA on the first submission! Thank you so much for your time, patience and suggestions.
-- Leah W., Graduate Student, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Writing has always been a challenge for me as a foreign medical graduate who learned (is learning) English as an adult. Your online course has given me many tools to use in my career, but what I am most thankful for is for helping me overcome my fear of writing in this high literacy environment. I am determined to improve my writing skills by continuing practicing. Thanks again for your teaching and support; I will recommend this course to friends and colleagues.

Dr. Hurley covers the entire writing/editing process in 6 weeks. Interesting and fun e-learning sessions and homework assignments. The instructor's accessibility and feedback (as well as the student's completing the homework assignments) are all key to the learning process. I whole-heartedly recommend this class to anyone who wants to improve their writing skills.

-- Senior Research Associate, Mapi Values USA
Thank you so much for all of your assistance with my paper. This course was so valuable to me both for making my paper stronger and for highlighting things that I need to be more cognizant of in my day to day writing. If my paper does get published, I will definitely let you know.

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.
