Course contents :

| In most professions, communication is an essential task of a scientist. Indeed, scientists have to publish the results of their research (in oral or written form), write reports, introduce research proposals, summarise information etc. This course focuses on three essential means of communication: writing (report, paper), oral presentation and poster presentation. After a short theoretical introduction, each student will present a seminar based on a recent scientific paper. Students will also have to prepare a short report, based on a selected subject. |
