Annotation What makes an academic paper good (or bad)? How should research results be presented for publication in a journal? How does form affect content in written presentations? This course consists of a series of workshops in which we examine publications in English and discuss research results in a way that will command attention NOTE: when registering for this course, each participant will be asked to provide a published paper (their own or someone else's) for collective analysis and discussion. Please choose either a paper that you think is very good, or one that seems very bad. If the paper you submit is selected for group discussion, we shall explore the good and bad points in it, thus using it to build up models of good and bad presentation in written presentations. We shall also explore together the practicalities of creative writing.
