NEUS 617 Manuscript Writing & Reviewing

Credits: 1.5
From the beginning to the end of one’s career in science, the presentation, writing, and evaluation of data in manuscripts and grants is the currency of our profession. Yet, these skills are not innate and require not only training, but also constant practice. Mastering these skills is not a substitute for creative ideas, or for the effective design and execution of experiments, but they are essential to their impact. This course does not address basic writing skills such as use of active voice, English grammar, sentence structure, paragraph structure, etc. These skills are taught in the Vollum Writing workshop for those interested.

Graded: Pass/No pass
