Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will guide students through reading and writing different kinds of scientific abstracts and summaries, introduce the structure and composition of scientific articles, and examine how these communications reflect the structure of scientific research and knowledge. Exercises will include practice writing abstracts for research articles, proposals, and conference submissions, and group work on improving individual writing skills.

Assessment and permitted materials

In-class discussions and group work on reading and writing assignments.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Evaluation is based on attendance and participation in class (50%) and completion of homework assignments (50%). Attendance is required: one absence (excused or unexcused) will be allowed before your grade is affected (approx. 1 grade point per additional absence).

There will be weekly reading and homework assignments, some of which will include a written assignment to be collected in class. These will account for 1/2 of the final mark.

Examination topics

Discussion and presentation of homework exercises and in-class group work.

Reading list

Readings will be assigned each week.
