This course will involve a variety of activities over the semester, including an oral presentation. The three major modes of scientific communication will be covered: written, verbal, and visual communication. Students will be educated in best practices via lectures and assignments, and regular attendance at Departmental seminars. Graded work will include: a) writing a cover letter and CV, and abstract for a conference presentation. b) communicating research orally to scientific and non-scientific audiences, c) producing a scientific poster. Plagiarism will also be discussed. The course is focused on students producing the above deliverables, peer review of their work, and enhancing student capacity to engage and communicate beyond a specialist academic audience.
