Abstract:
Writing is usually integrated in the curriculum of science studies. However, students often lack the skills to write for various audiences or, to produce a well written manuscript. We developed a concise project of 15 European Credits to improve the writing skills in an early phase of the bachelor study. Students worked on texts from various journals and looked at the writing styles. They rewrote texts in a popular and more scientific way and practiced with clear, vivid language, avoiding clutter and hedge words, considering a proper use of grammar and interpunction. Medical writing was also introduced during the project. Grading was based on rewriting for a non-expert and expert audience. A rewritten text was presented to the public in the form of a student-initiated survey. This project shows an inverted approach creating student ownership and enthusiasm for writing. In addition, we created and tested successfully a concise two-day workshop based on this project. Based on the results we herewith present the work as an idea to explore.
摘要:
写作通常被整合在科学研究的课程中。然而,学生往往缺乏为各种受众写作的技能,或者,制作一份写得很好的手稿。我们开发了一个包含15个欧洲学分的简明项目,以提高学士学习的早期阶段的写作技巧。学生研究各种期刊的文本,并研究写作风格。他们以一种流行和更科学的方式重写文本,并以清晰的方式实践,生动的语言,避免混乱和对冲的话,考虑正确使用语法和交互。在项目期间还引入了医学写作。评分是基于非专家和专家受众的重写。以学生发起的调查的形式向公众提交了重写的文本。这个项目展示了一种倒置的方法,创造了学生的所有权和写作热情。此外,我们根据这个项目创建并成功测试了一个为期两天的简明研讨会。根据结果,我们在此提出这项工作,作为一种探索的想法。
