Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course teaches the basics of scientific writing and communication in the field of biology. Through in depth analysis of sections of scientific articles (in English), participants will become familiar with their structure and style. The course includes lectures and exercises, which are worked on individually and/or in small groups. The practical exercises should enable the participants to apply the imparted knowledge to their own needs (e.g., analysis of given scientific texts and text modules; independent writing, revision and optimisation of text examples). Thus, the course helps the participants to independently write and revise a bachelor's or master's thesis according to the general/international standards of academic writing, publishing and communication.Complementary to this course, the independent block courses "Scientific Writing Workshop" is offered (see ufind for details).
