Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Pending Approval Even the brightest ideas can be obscured by turgid, jargon-laden prose. Good scientific writing is good writing: it engages the reader, provides a compelling, easily followed flow, and provides a sense of closure. This course seeks to illuminate how these goals can be met within the context of forms encountered in the brain and behavioral sciences: conference abstracts, proceedings papers, journal articles, literature reviews, grant proposals. Activities will emphasize drafting, critiquing, editing, and collaborative writing. Enrollment limited to 15.
