Carrie12345 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 A friend of mine is an assistant professor in chemistry. He is so incredibly frustrated with the lack of writing ability in his SENIORS that he's proposing adding a writing course to the chem department, but he isn't familiar with English department stuff. I was just wondering if anyone might know of a curriculum (or a few) that might take the average (:001_huh:) 21yo from "This lab sucked" to relatively decent scientific writing. Quote
G5052 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 There was actually a self-published manual written by one of the professors that I had to buy in the bookstore that covered how to write up a decent lab report. It wasn't super long, maybe 15 pages with appendices that had marked-up reports to show good and bad. I had to pass a quiz on it in my Chem 101 lab. The college I went to required formal, handwritten bound lab books, and most labs even at the freshman level were at least six or so handwritten pages. I wish that I still had one of those bound books to show my own children. It was a lot of work! Surely there's something out there on internet... Quote
