18.02.2019 - 19.02.2019
Participants Learn How To:
- Apply five key principles of scientific writing.
- Write for their readers.
- Construct a memorable “take-home message”.
- Connect all parts of their paper in a flowing narrative.
- Overcome writers’ block.
- Structure their paper for increased impact.
- Use the writing process to inform their own research.
- Understand the role of “story telling” in scientific writing.
The course encourages participants to see “the big picture” of their research. It uses discussions, exercises and homework to underscore key-points. Participants are equipped with writing tools rather than being burdened with writing rules. The course includes editing of participants’ Abstracts and follow-up one-to-one consultation. Discussions in class are intended to facilitate an understanding of the writing process; encouraging interaction and the sharing of writing experiences. The course aims to create an informal atmosphere that motivates students to enjoy writing.
Participants receive an easy-to-use book that guides the students through all levels of scientific writing from the fundamentals of word choice to the overall structure of the paper.
