The course introduces the principles of academic writing and stylistic techniques for achieving reader-friendly, clear, and effective texts.
Classes feature professionally crafted articles, allowing students to focus on sentence and paragraph structure, style, and coherent and rational layout.
Students will also learn to summarize and paraphrase texts. In addition to study materials and assignments, participants will be asked to provide peer feedback and critically evaluate the work of others to determine how successfully the methods have been implemented.
This will help to reinforce the principles at the heart of the course and make students more likely to incorporate these stylistic practices into their own writing.
Who is the course addressed to?
Recommended for 1-year PhD students as a preparatory course before Writing for Publication. Students need to be able to function in English (B2 level and higher).
