★★★★★
Scientific Paper Writing: Tools and AI for Efficient and Effective Research Communication

Excellent delivery of course material. Although, we would have benefited from more time to practice with the plethora of presented resources.

Kevin Muwonge
★★★★★
The Green NanoSynth Workshop: Sustainable Synthesis of NiO Nanoparticles and Renewable Hydrogen Production from Bioethanol

Though he explained all things nicely, my suggestion is to include some more examples related to hydrogen as fuel, and the necessary action required for its safety and wide use.

Pushpender Kumar Sharma
★★★★★
