“Great relatable videos that provided some useful tips.”

“Good text and tips on scientific writing and metatext. These things were not really taught to me in any course at university, but it was only when I was writing my thesis that I properly understood what they meant. A course like yours at the beginning of my thesis would have been really useful in helping me get rid of my doubts and uncertainties when I didn’t really know how to write.”
