Kommentare/ Inhalte: Students are expected to actively participate throughout the course. Active participation is defined as presence during 80% of the sessions and, in addition, leading one discussion or presenting one paper. Discussion Topics: - Introduction and Overview: How to Write a Scientific Paper - The Martial Arts of Scientific Publication - Techniques of Scientific Writing I - The Basics - Techniques of Scientific Writing II - Techniques of Scientific Writing III - The Abstract - Careers - How Do I Know I'm Cut Out to Be a Scientist? - Scientific Presentations - Graphics and Colour - Poster Making - Proposal Writing - Scientific Ethics I - Accusations of Misconduct - Scientific Ethics II - Science, Politics, and the Public
Lernziel: The aim of the course is to provide guidance to students on the elements of being a scientist that are generic - that is, not subject-specific. We will cover the writing of papers, the paper review process, oral presentations, and scientific ethics, among others. The approach is empirical: We will analyse examples of both successful and unsuccessful practice.
