Volledige vakbeschrijving

In periods four and five, students will practise academic writing. Based on a number of written exercises, attention will be paid to giving feedback, structuring an academic paper, plagiarism and writing according to current language and style rules. Students will be required to complete three small individual written assignments. The second assignment involves practice in clearly describing and consequently interpreting experimental studies, and formulating their own critical conclusion. The assignment is reading, and summarizing in own words two (seemingly) contradictory papers and come to a well-founded, critical conclusion about the meaning of these articles. Students will perform this task under direct supervision of teaching staff.
