| Dozierende | Christoph Handschin (christoph.handschin@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
| Inhalt | The scientific writing course is designed to develop and sharpen the English writing skills of students pursuing degrees in the biomedical sciences. The module consists of two parts: a lecture followed by a workshop. The lecture (part A) emphasizes the concept that effective scientific writing engages the reader and delivers a clear and concise message. The workshop (part B) emphasizes the practical skills required to achieve clarity of message. The module covers all aspects of the writing process, including syntax, sentence structure, crafting of paragraphs, preparing sections of a hypothesis-testing manuscript, writing of abstracts, identifying scientific questions and elaborating hypotheses. The students are expected to engage verbally in classroom discussion, to participate in group exercises where texts are criticized and rewritten, and to submit personal written work for peer review.
