A scientific text adheres to different requirements than popular texts, columns, or policy notes. In this course we will analyze scientific texts in the field of Computing Science. We will discuss structure, design and the language used in those articles. For which target group are you going to write and what does that mean for your text? When do you use passive forms, when can you use active sentences? How do you display results and how can you guide the reader through the discussion of those results?
These are all questions that will be addressed. You will also have to write pieces of a scientific article yourself.
Instructional Modes
We will discuss articles and all assignments in small groups. Part of the course is that you give feedback on assignments made by other students.
