Content
|
The focus of the course will be on actual writing projects, from small, simple projects to those in which the students write larger papers about their own research interests. Common mistakes made by Czech writers (grammatical, phrasal, etc.) will be highlighted throughout the course so that these can be corrected early in the students' scientific careers.
