Description: | Students will examine recent peer-reviewed scientific writing, consider the strategies of successful scientific writers, learn writing conventions of scientific journals, and workshop student writing. If an undergraduate student is engaged in research (e.g., Undergraduate Research in Biology), the student can work on the required research paper during the course. Graduate students can work on a current research paper during the course. | | Athena Title: | Scientific Research Writing | | Nontraditional Format: | This version of the course will be taught as writing intensive, which means that the course will include substantial and ongoing writing assignments that a) relate clearly to course learning; b) teach the communication values of a discipline—for example, its practices of argument, evidence, credibility, and format; and c) prepare students for further writing in their academic work, in graduate school, and in professional life. The written assignments will result in a significant and diverse body of written work (the equivalent of 6000 words or 25 pages) and the instructor (and/or the teaching assistant assigned to the course) will be closely involved in student writing, providing opportunities for feedback and substantive revision. | Semester Course
