[Aims and Scope]

In this roundtable seminar we intend to identity and improve skills in academic writing (i.e., those used for technical journals) as well as to improve oral presentation techniques, assisted by Power Point or similar media.

[Outline]

This seminar is a continuation of ATC 1. (NOTE: new students are accepted in both terms.)

Requirements are identical and students are will proceed at their own pace within the context of what the group achieves. Students themselves, as well as the instructor, will provide constructive criticism and overall support for everyone’s work.

Class meeting times are the same as in the spring term, and regular attendance is both compulsory and vital to your success.
