| Teaching students to read and write scientific papers is a key learning objective in many courses. At many schools, it is expected that students write a thesis on a capstone research project that they conduct in collaboration with a faculty advisor. In our capstone course we have found that students have difficulty writing in a professional style. Since it is unreasonable to expect that students would know how to write in this specialized way without training, we have redesigned the post-laboratory learning exercises in our sophomore organic lab courses to teach students the fundamentals of writing a scientific full paper. We will present our approach and the assessment results we have obtained to date. |
