課程概述 |
The goal of this course is to enhance students’ fundamental English writing and communication skills in technical and scientific disciplines. Students will learn how to write definitions, use visuals, and transform data into narratives that are accessible, engaging and informative for the intended audience. These skills will empower students to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and advance their professional careers in the rapidly changing technical industries.
In this course, students will have the opportunity to develop their technical writing and communication skills through a range of hands-on activities, including collaborative writing, revision exercises and peer review. They will learn to write technical documents such as reports, instruction manuals and marketing correspondence. Additionally, the course will focus on honing self-editing skills and fostering a comprehensive understanding of writing ethics. By the end of the course, students will have acquired a comprehensive set of technical writing and communication skills which will prepare them for future academic and professional success. |
