Reserve time (OlleNerman)

 

All course material will be either handed out or linked to. If you use course homepage link for academic year 2009/2010 you will find much of the material that will be used in the course, but:

 

§  Essay questions will be new for this year.

§  You are not allowed to “copy and paste” in the essays. We will use a system that detects texts that are copies of websites, published papers, other student´s texts etc. to check your submitted texts. Main purpose of the essays is to train your general writing and English writing capacity, and of course also your capacity to read and understand scientific texts as they appear in journals.

 

Finally I wish to mention that we plan to have a couple of seminars in mid- May with suggestions for applied master thesis projects in various bioscience and medical environments.

 

I look forward to the course with great expectations.
