Workshop Scientific Writing
[Workshops sind Follop-Up-Tage. Bitte Zulassungsbedingungen beachten]
Ziele
By the end of the workshop, participants will know more about their personal strengths and weaknesses as a writer and about how to seek advice and feedback on writing from colleagues. They will also have
- increased their confidence when writing in scientific contexts in English,
- deepened their knowledge of scientific writing,
- received clarification of their questions about style and grammar,
- advanced their mastery of scientific writing skills, particularly editing.
Inhalte
The workshop consists of three main elements:
- Individual coaching, during which the instructors give specific feedback on the text submitted and initiate a dialogue to address the participant’s questions (a total of about 30 minutes per participant)
- Grammar and style exercises addressing language usage that caused problems in the participants’ texts
- The clinic, which is focused on practicing editing skills with the support of the instructors, as well as print and online reference materials
Arbeitsweise / Programm
During the day, activities vary. While the focus remains on coaching (the individual writer is in a one-on-one instructor-student setup also during clinic time), there will be some activities in small groups or pairs and some for the entire group.
The workshop will be offered on site. Should this not be possible, it will be adapted to a blended-learning or an online format.

Beschreibung
This workshop is an opportunity for participants who have completed the four-day Scientific Writing Clinic in our program (or a similar basic scientific writing course at another institution) to receive in-depth individual feedback on their texts, to focus on problematic areas of grammar and style, and/or to practice their editing skills.
Besonderes
The four-day Scientific Writing Clinic (or a similar basic scientific writing course at another institution) is a prerequisite for participation. Moreover, participants will need to submit 1-2 pages of the text they want to work with before the course begins; this will serve as the basis for the coaching sessions during the day. Details will be communicated in an email to all registered participants two to three weeks before the workshop.
Zulassungsbedingungen
This workshop is open for people who have previously completed our four-day course "Scientific Writing Clinic" or a similar course at another university.
