Discovering the little secrets of mastering the fundamentals of scientific English
The object is to teach students patterns and templates that will help them develop effective skills in presenting technical material in the form of written reports and presentations. Through this course, students will gain a solid grasp of the fundamentals of scientific English, which will improve their ability to discuss and write about science-related topics reported in the news, scientific journals and magazines, and to ultimately gain confidence in disseminating their own research findings.
