This seminar will discuss a broad overview of tips and techniques for improving your scientific writing quality and efficiency in output. It is especially geared toward Master-level students planning to write or currently in the process of writing their theses. However, interested Ph.D. students are welcome. We will also devote one lecture to discussing tips for CVs and cover letters used for job applications.

Note: this class will involve two main parts: (1) scheduled lectures and group discussions/group work on scientific writing and students' own writing examples. (2) Students will also have the opportunity to schedule one-to-one meetings (June - September) with Dr. Pelowski to receive personal feedback on their own writing or thesis prep.
