In this course, we use English to discuss and prepare papers for publication in SCI journals or to write theses results and discussions. We study the goals and pitfalls of writing the different sections of scientific papers. Students develop their own papers and practice peer review by evaluating the papers of their classmates. This course is designed for students preparing their thesis or publishable papers. Grading is based on improvement in writing and participation in discussion. Two textbooks required.
