Course content

The seminar is focused on the analysis of real scientific texts (journal article, review) and subsequent application in practice. Much attention is devoted mainly to text structure, vocabulary and syntax of scientific style (impersonalization of the text, quotations, paraphrases, complex syntax, etc.) and differences between the reviews and expert paper. Students develop 5-page artical about any topic, which is then analyzed in classes, and students are alerted of possible errors.
