Dr. Akinci shows how to cut unnecessary verbiage that makes writing cumbersome and unreadable and present ideas with clear and vibrant prose. The most important illustrations are those of active vs. passive tense and simplifying technical jargon and buzz words. This is an excellent first course for anyone who wishes to communicate complex ideas with clarity."

The course exceeded my expectations. Ugar went into detail about how to communicate clearly and plainly. He covered subjects like:

I'm sure that this course will help me write more effectively in my career and consulting. It was well worth the money that I paid.

I love this course! The information is outstanding, and very focused. I can't explain why, but the instructor's voice matches well with the material. His narration style is calm, but engaging. I recommend this course to anyone wanting TO WRITE BETTER.
I enjoyed this course and learned from it. The instructor has a good sense of humour and gives good examples. The resources supplied are helpful.
I have one minor criticism: The music at the start of each section bothered me after hearing it too many times.
Great course, I think the rules are useful. I would love more techniques to split long paragraphs, and convoluted sentences.
