Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
We discuss the majority of research communication modes, their reasons and their consequences, internally and externally. They include conference participation, paper proposals, reviews, conference presentations, popular communication and interaction,
popular presentations and texts. We continuously discuss issues of style and genre, and how to adapt and adjust to different audiences and genres.
Peer feedback is an important part of the course as we focus on the process and tools behind academic writing.
