Abstract

Writing is usually integrated in the curriculum of science studies. However, students often lack the skills to write for various audiences or, to produce a well written manuscript. We developed a concise project of 15 European Credits to improve the writing skills in an early phase of the bachelor study. Students worked on texts from various journals and looked at the writing styles. They rewrote texts in a popular and more scientific way and practiced with clear, vivid language, avoiding clutter and hedge words, considering a proper use of grammar and interpunction. Medical writing was also introduced during the project. Grading was based on rewriting for a non-expert and expert audience. A rewritten text was presented to the public in the form of a student-initiated survey. This project shows an inverted approach creating student ownership and enthusiasm for writing. In addition, we created and tested successfully a concise two-day workshop based on this project. Based on the results we herewith present the work as an idea to explore.

一个值得探讨的想法:以学生为中心的本科生科学和医学写作项目和讲习班。
写作通常被纳入科学研究课程。然而,学生们往往缺乏为不同受众写作的技能,或者无法写出一份出色的手稿。我们开发了一个由 15 个欧洲学分组成的简明项目,以提高本科学习早期阶段的写作技巧。学生们研究了各种期刊上的文章,并考察了写作风格。他们以通俗和更科学的方式改写文章,练习使用清晰、生动的语言,避免杂乱无章和堆砌词语,考虑正确使用语法和插入语。项目期间还引入了医学写作。评分标准是为非专业和专业读者改写文章。改写后的文本以学生发起调查的形式向公众展示。这个项目展示了一种反向方法,创造了学生的自主性和写作热情。此外,我们还在此项目的基础上成功创建并测试了一个为期两天的简明讲习班。基于这些成果,我们在此将该工作作为一个想法进行探讨。

期刊介绍: The aim of BAMBED is to enhance teacher preparation and student learning in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and related sciences such as Biophysics and Cell Biology, by promoting the world-wide dissemination of educational materials. BAMBED seeks and communicates articles on many topics, including: Innovative techniques in teaching and learning. New pedagogical approaches. Research in biochemistry and molecular biology education. Reviews on emerging areas of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology to provide background for the preparation of lectures, seminars, student presentations, dissertations, etc. Historical Reviews describing "Paths to Discovery". Novel and proven laboratory experiments that have both skill-building and discovery-based characteristics. Reviews of relevant textbooks, software, and websites. Descriptions of software for educational use. Descriptions of multimedia materials such as tutorials on various aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology.
