Introduction to Academic Writing | Course number: 5134150
Course fee: € 45 (students) | 60 € (staff members) | 225 € (guests)
ECTS-CP: 3
This is a correspondence course with bi-weekly consultations. Places are available to students who are not following the Master’s degree programmes in Computer Science For Digital Media, Digital Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction.
The course concentrates mainly on structure in writing academic articles, essays and reports. We begin by examining the structure of individual paragraphs and move on to extended texts of various types (e.g. process essays, cause/effect, comparison/contrast, etc.). Particular attention is paid to connectives, i.e. transitional phrases and constructions which help you link ideas and paragraphs in a logical, systematic way.
Theses courses focus on helping students learn how to communicate effectively using scientific and technical English on different target levels. The focus will be placed on scientific oral communication. Regardless of the focus, the courses will also include reading, listening and active discussions related to current scientific and technical topics in order to ensure a well-rounded development of language skills.
