MHS 603 SCIENCE WRITING PRINCIPLES

This course provides a rigorous analysis of scientific writing on the sentence and paragraph level. Students will master basic principles of effective science writing, both through analyzing previously published scientific writing and through applying these principles in their own writing. Students will be developing a short research proposal throughout the course on a topic of their choice. The goal is to practice these principles in their own writing, culminating in a small portfolio of their revised work produced in this class. Frequent instructor feedback will give students numerous opportunities to further hone their writing skills.
