Sam S Donovan onto HITS 2018 Workshop Resources

Also found in these collections:

STEM Writing Resources

These are materials outside of the STEM Writing Project related to teaching writing in undergraduate STEM courses (not just in biology). What does the collection include?

  • Practical methods for training new writers is the main topic of posts in this resource.
  • Making and interpreting arguments is at the heart of scientific writing. The collection will include evidence-based argumentation posts and resources.
  • Reading literature is an important part of learning to write well, so some posts focus on reading skills.
  • Data analysis and visualization is key to reporting results, so expect to see posts on graphing data, basic statistics, etc.
  • Anything else that seems related to teaching scientific writing.

Know of a resource that should be in the collection? Let us know!
