Dagskurs akademisk skriving / One-day academic writing course

Dato: 26 sept 2024
Tid: 9.00-15.30
Sted: Rikshospitalet

Forskerforbundet at OUS is offering a one-day academic writing course for members focusing on familiarizing participants with some typical academic writing conventions, as well as addressing the most common problem areas confronting researchers when writing academic English.

This is a practical course in which participants' own writing is a key element. We will discuss participants' texts as well as the principles of academic writing. Participants will develop a sophisticated awareness of the conventions of academic writing, and how they can vary between different disciplines.

Participants will apply this awareness to their own texts, refining their writing and increasing their likelihood of publication. Moreover, the analytical tools each participant develops during the course will keep on working after the course: each participant will be given the tools to continue to develop their awareness of academic writing and improve their own writing long after the course has finished.

An outline of the topics covered during the workshop:

- Key elements of academic English

- Writing clearly and concisely

- Constructing a research paper through modelling texts
