This module will enhance the development of scientific writing skills in undergraduate biology students. While the key principles of scientific writing will be covered (e.g. citation, structure, peer-review, plagiarism), the focus of this module is the improvement of the student’s individual writing skills. In order to help achieve this valuable outcome, each student will produce a literature review on a chosen topic in their biological degree programme. A number of continuous assessment exercises will be undertaken to assist in this writing process. Students will also perform a graded, peer-review exercise with their classmates, involving the giving and receiving of feedback.
