The course deals with the essentials of academic writing and presentation giving.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course students will:

- have improved their understanding of more complex scientific texts.
- be able to write a literature review.

Additional information:
Students will be required to write a literature review (critical review) and give an oral presentation based on it. Students will be expected to follow the APA publication guidelines as specified in their handbook. Review articles will have to be double-spaced in Times New Roman 12, and be between 10 and 15 pages long, title and reference pages included.
Half the marks will be given for content by the faculty members on the jury. The other half will be given by the English teachers for language, presentation and writing skills.
A mark of less than 8/20 in any part of the final assignment will result in a final mark of 9/20 maximum for the course.
First session:
Two copies of the review article will have to be handed in before Tuesday, April 20th 2020 at 12.00 by email. Students must send one copy of their article to their supervisor and another to their English teacher. Students have to use the official cover page provided on the website of the Faculty.

- Non-respect of the deadline
- Plagiarism / Failing to cite sources properly
- Use of non-English sources

- Writing fewer than 10 pages or more than 20 pages in the right format. (Reviews between 16 and 20 pages will be penalised.)

- oral presentation : 10/20
Students whose reviews have been refused for plagiarism, incorrect citing - which includes dishonest paraphrasing or misquoting - may also have to change topics for the second session and cannot expect further supervision.
The students will be responsible for finding a (new) promoter to validate their new topic, read their critical review and attend their presentation.
Students will have to send their review articles to their supervisors and their English teachers by email before Monday, August 16th at 12.00 at the latest.
