I want to take additional courses on this subject with Professor McMurrey. David is an excellent teacher. He provides the knowledge and skills students need, and he is concerned about his students. He is also very responsive to students needs. I feel fortunate to have taken a class with him. I will take additional courses on this subject. L.Wolin

This was my first course,  I was not sure what to expect.  I can tell you that I have totally enjoyed it.  I was looking forward to it every week. M. Shanklin
Exceeded my expectations. The instructor was very patient and easily approachable with questions. He always responded quickly to my e-mail messages. The material provided was easy to read and follow. The initial schedule of due dates for assignments helped me plan my course around my day-to-day responsibilities. His notes/edits to my papers/assignments were positive yet constructive. In other words, he found good things to say about my work in addition to constructive criticism. L. Richardson

Everything I learned in the Introduction to Technical writing I am using in my job. The course was able to identify technical writing areas that I needed to strengthen. M. Ewald
I wanted to say that I've learned a heck of a lot in this course. When I first started your class and saw that I'd have to write a formal proposal, I knew I wasn't ready to do that; but by the time I'd finished all of the reading and all of the writing assignments, I felt I was ready. I found the work challenging and informative, and I'll carry and apply what I've learned as I seek to start a new career in technical writing. R. Lewis
