Description of the Course<br />
This training course addresses the different phases of writing scientific protocols <strong>and</strong><br />
research reports. The course covers all of the stages involved in the creation of a piece<br />
of writing; from rough working documents <strong>and</strong> prewriting, to editing draft texts <strong>and</strong><br />
making final revisions. Since the course precedes the Master’s research <strong>and</strong> thesis<br />
stage, the primary focus is on the development of skills that will enable the writing of<br />
a research proposal <strong>and</strong> Master’s thesis. The course covers a variety of topics related<br />
to scientific writing, such as different protocol types, the IMRAD-format, APA style <strong>and</strong><br />
format, citations <strong>and</strong> references, plagiarism, project planning <strong>and</strong> applying on-line<br />
writing guides.<br />
Instructional Approach<br />
A combination of lectures, take home writing assignments <strong>and</strong> take home review<br />
assignments.<br />
Form of Assessment<br />
