To introduce Scientific Writing in English that will identify the important aspects of spelling, grammar, sentence construction and organization of writing that cause problems when beginning to write scientific papers and similar documents. At the end of the course the student should be able to look critically at their own scientific writing in English and identify problems in it.
This course will consist of Lectures (2 hours) and two Assignments over 9 weeks. 1) Access assignments from e-campus and download 2) Read relevant files 3) Answer assignment in Microsoft Word 4) Submit assignment to E3, the new e-campus (preferred), or if that is not possible, e-mail the assignment to ralph_kirby@icloud.com (this might be necessary if you have problems loading to e-campus or are late returning the assignment). If you e-mail, make sure that you include your student number, the course name " Basic Scientific Writing" and your name in that order in the Subject Box of the e-mail.
The marks for the two assignments form the final course mark. Each assignment is worth 50% of the overall mark. Thus if you fail to submit one assignment you fail. If you fail to get a mark or a returned assignment and you believe you have submitted, there is probably a problem with ecampus and you need to contact me.

- Please make sure that you have your student number and name (Chinese characters & English) at the top of each assignment. Please send the assignment by E3 (the new e-campus) as the first choice (this links you directly to your Yang-Ming Chiao-Tung course marks) or, if this is not possible, e-mail a copy to either ralph_kirby@icloud.com with the subject box marked “Advanced Scientific English A” and your student number. This will allow easy identification of the email and who it is from. Your name in English or Chinese characters does not allow easy cross referencing with the mark sheet that contains all class members. If you are from outside Yang-Ming Chiao-Tung, an e-mail to me may be essential.
