Instructional goals
A good article should be strategically written with the goal of conveying the importance, relevance and details of the research. This course aims to develop students’ writing skills that will assist them in writing their master’s thesis and communicating in their future career. A vital component of the course will be a focus on the writing process. We will not only examine the research process, but also focus on how to communicate the key components of a research project. This will help students actively think about how to effectively express their ideas, improve their writing skills, and develop a critical approach.
