I was impressed by the progress that some of them (whom I know quite well) made in a short time, in what concerns their capacity of public speaking and explaining their scientific work to non-specialists.
If I had more time I would certainly take this course myself, probably I'll still try to do it.

I enjoyed the course a lot and the lecturers were outstanding. Combining the course with a lecturer with theoretical background and another lecturer with practical experience was a great idea. The daily classwork was very helpful to integrate the knowledge to practice instantly. The course was well structured and rich in content.
