Thanks for your feedback and all the help you have provided during the course of the training. This training has definitely helped me write better.— Ankita Mishra, Associate Engineer, Research and Development, Neurosurgery, Integra

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.
-- Technical Writer, US Army
Our group definitely benefited from the course! Being in different writing phases, we all got valuable tools and a lot of good advice to draw from [for our] ongoing work. Thank you!--Lis E. Mortensen, Physical Geographer, Head of Geoinformation Dept. Faroese Earth and Energy Directorate 
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
It was a great learning experience and I am already employing some tricks of the trade. Thanks

Great workshop!
-- Lab tech, Bayer Corp.
It was really nice to work with you over the past two months. Your audience oriented approach is very useful, as past writing classes I attended always focused on grammar and format, etc.
-- Scientist, Bayer
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
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
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.

Thanks for your feedback and all the help you have provided during the course of the training. This training has definitely helped me write better.—Ankita Mishra, Associate Engineer, Research and Development
-- 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
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 found the class to be very helpful and informative. Pam did a fantastic job in getting the information [across].
-- Engineer, Sikorsky Aircraft, CT
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
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

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.

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
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
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
[The onsite technical writing class ] was the best I've ever attended!
-- Sandra Rhodes, ECP/SWE Manager, Bechtel Jacobs Co.
