Academic Writing provides the academic knowledge and skills to perform literature research; e.g., search strategy for relevant (non-)scientific articles, use of a literature matrix to effectively work with different information from various sources, apply the conventions of source citation and referencing, and apply the principles of academic writing in order to write a coherent and concise text. Students will be expected to perform skill-building exercises during the different sessions. Writing tasks will also be given to provide participants the opportunity to practice and/or improve their writing skills.
