Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course focuses on professional written and oral communication in English in the scientific field. The course will be structured along the typical tasks and processes around an academic conference: call for proposals, abstract writing, poster presentation, roundtable discussion, paper writing, proof-reading, editing, peer-review. The final task will be the submission of a short paper (including literature review and optional secondary data). In addition, there will be a focus on debating as well as one unit on job application in the academic field.

If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme must be met.
If a required task is not fulfilled, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness).
In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer.If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as ‘not assessed’ and will be entered into the electronic exam record as ‘fraudulently obtained’.
