Introduction To Scientific Writing

AY2016/2017 Semester 1

This is an introductory course designed to equip students with writing fundamentals, which will be applicable to all future written communication, and which will form the pre-requisite for advanced courses. The course will emphasize meeting the reader?s basic expectations of where in the text information should appear, and how changes in information placement influence the impact of the text. The course will also provide students with guidance on making engaging presentations without slides to a non-specialist audience. Lessons will be highly interactive, and offer multiple opportunities to write, present, and get and give feedback.
