This revised and updated second edition is an accessible companion
designed to help science and technology students develop the knowledge,
skills and strategies needed to produce clear and coherent academic
writing in their university assignments.
Using authentic texts to explore the nature of scientific writing, the
book covers key areas such as scientific style, effective sentence and
paragraph structure, and coherence in texts and arguments. Throughout
the book, a range of tasks offers the opportunity to put theory into
practice. The explorative tasks allow you to see how language works in a
real scientific context, practice and review tasks consolidate learning
and help you to develop your own writing skills, and reflective tasks
encourage you to think about your own knowledge and experience, and
bring this to bear on your own writing journey at university.
Key features of the new edition include:
- Updated content and additional tasks throughout
- New chapters, covering writing in the sciences and writing at
university
- The introduction of reflective tasks
- Up-to-date examples of authentic scientific writing
Clear, engaging and easy-to-use, this is an invaluable tool for the busy
science or technology student looking to improve their writing and reach
their full academic potential.
