Successful graduates of the course will: − develop a philosophy of scientific writing − consistently apply key principles of style to their writing so that their message is communicated in a clear, concise and reader-focused way − understand and produce the structure the editor and reader requires for each section of a scientific paper − be aware of the most common grammar mistakes made by non-natives in scientific writing and, thereby, avoid making them (or at least significantly reduce them) − not only develop writing skills but also the enhanced editing skills necessary to properly self-edit, as well as to give constructive feedback on the work of their students and colleagues
Furthermore, and this is crucial, many participants actually learn to enjoy the writing process; partly because the sense of structure gives them more confidence in what they are doing, and partly because they learn to recognize that by thinking (really thinking) about how to improve their writing they are also thinking about how to improve their science.
In the end, it is all about the output, which is that, typically, all participants demonstrate improved scientific writing and, thus, are much better positioned to get their scientific papers published. |
