Description
This is the Second Edition of the coursebook for Scientific Communication II, a one-semester, 2-credit, advanced research writing course for science students in the School of Biological Sciences and School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). This course builds on the foundation course, Scientific Communication I. The broad aim of this course is to familiarise you with the linguistic features and organizational structure of scientific texts. We hope that you will both enjoy and benefit from the course. Science students not only need expert knowledge relating to their disciplines, but they also need to be able to communicate that knowledge to their peers, professors and the wider community. This course is designed to help you improve your skills in all these areas of communication.
Please note: As HW0128 Scientific Communication I is a pre-requisite for this course, please ensure that you have completed the course, signed up for it this semester or obtained exemption from this requirement.
