The goal of this course is to familiarize the students with the basics of scientific communication—written and oral. The course consists of a series of lectures, hands-on tutorials, assignments, and presentations by the students. Topics that are covered include distinguishing features of scientific communication (structure/organization and precision); organization of articles, oral presentations, and posters; working with bibliographic databases and constructing bibliography; working with instructions for authors provided by the journals; critical reading of scientific literature; aspects of ethics of publishing. Discussion of the relevant aspects of English grammar is included in the lectures by presenting examples from the current literature and asking students to identify grammatical and stylistic errors, and by reading and discussing passages of scientific text. The key feature of the course is the hands-on exercises the students perform in class with the help of the instructor and on their own in the form of assigned reading and writing.
The course is aimed Masters and Doctoral students with a reasonable level of English. Evaluation is based on written assignments, oral presentation, and class participation.
Course history: I developed this course as an elective for the Advanced Materials Master program in 2009. Since 2011, it became a part of the core curriculum of the Masters.
