Attendee Feedback I was impressed about lecturer's delivery and explanation. It was really useful presentation for students in master courses.
I loved the dynamics of the presentation, as well as the advice you gave us. I am a beginner in the process of writing scientific articles and several issues I still see as "unreachable" challenges, but in the course I realized that it is something that happens to every researcher. Again, congratulations and thanks for your presentation and I send you a big greeting.
The presentation was informative & easy to understand, specifically analyzing difficulties for students who wish to write academic papers in English.
