    Using some of your regular course assignments, you will learn to improve your written and spoken skills in English. We will examine topics such as how to create persuasive texts in English (using rhetorical patterns, maintaining logical flow and cohesion, choosing the correct style, targeting your audience) and how to give effective presentations: delivery, structure, audience expectations, speaking on camera. You will then apply this knowledge to a text in the main course (an executive summary) and your final course presentations.


    Learning outcomes

    By the end of the course, you will be able to

    •Write genre-specific texts (academic and professional)

    •Apply rhetorical patterns to texts and oral presentations

    •Create cohesive, reader-friendly texts that follow a logical pattern

    •Proofread texts for typical grammatical and punctuation errors.

    •Use sources appropriately and avoid plagiarism

    •Present persuasively and effectively in English.

    There is no need for any specific knowledge of quantum physics as we are learning the forms of presenting academically rather than the actual content.
