| Purpose of the course | The course aims at enabling students to obtain basic knowledge of science communication and to prepare students for effectively communicating research both to peers within academia as well as to a wider audience. |
| Intended learning outcomes | At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to:
- explain the main characteristics and outline of different types of scholarly communication (manuscript, abstract, posters and oral presentation). - understand principal concepts associated with scientific communication. - communicate own research adjusted to different contexts by using various means of interaction. - based on theories of communication and learning assess the quality of peers' research and give constructive feedback accordingly. |
| Contents of the course | Participants will be given the opportunity to develop practical skills and theoretical knowledge in how to deliver a coherent message in written and verbal communication. There will be a focus on basic concepts such as how to improve one’s academic writing; how to adapt presentation techniques and rhetoric in versatile settings; how to use different media (such as posters, projection media, whiteboard) and how to express oneself clearly. |
| Teaching and learning activities | The pedagogic framing is based on student activity with interactive lectures, seminars and workshops. The scheduled face-to-face activities in the course will be mixed with individual work and feedback from teachers and peers via the web-based learning platform Canvas and through Zoom. |
| Compulsory elements | Assignments, seminars and group activities are mandatory. Absence from compulsory sessions can be compensated by replacement activities. |
| Examination | The knowledge and skills acquired in the course will be assessed through written assignments (outline of poster and letter to editor or journal abstract) and oral presentation (7-minute platform presentation). For a pass grade, an approved exam in all subjects is required. |
| Literature and other teaching material | Recommended literature:
- Russell N. (2009). Communicating science: Professional, popular, literary. Cambridge University Press. - Rocco TS & Hatcher TG. (2011). The handbook of scholarly writing and publishing. John Wiley & Sons. Additional, recommended reading may be added during the course. |
