This course focuses on your product and your productivity: personal writing strategies; actual on-site text production; understanding and assessing the nature of various parts of an academic paper; dealing with the language and rhetorical issues, etc. | ||||||||||

| Course Content | |||||||||||
| Communicating science is as important to the scientific process as designing, conducting, and analysing the experiment itself. The courses focus on essential techniques for effective writing and presentation of scientific information. The courses are designed for those who have some experience in writing a scientific paper: those who are at the beginning of their careers, and those who have had more experience in writing scientific papers and would like to refine their communication skills. Scientists from various disciplines are welcome to attend. Academic Writing is organised by GlobalDenmark, which is quality-certified with the University of East London's Quality Mark. This assures that GlobalDenmark's PhD courses comply with rigorous quality criteria on teaching methodology, teacher qualifications and course management. | |||||||||||
