Course Description |
Effective communication is a fundamentally important skill for scientists and engineers.
The goal of this class is to familiarize students with the scientific communication process and teach skills necessary to successfully present their results.
An overview over several practices of scientific communication will be given, such as oral and poster presentations and preparation of written manuscripts. The process of writing a publication will be a focus of this course and many different aspects from structuring results and reviewing literature to avoiding common English mistakes and choosing a journal will be covered.
Finally, hands-on experience with several important software packages to structure and display data and references will be provided. |
