To convert a traditional graduate seminar course into a class that emphasizes written as well as oral communication skills.
Graduate pharmacology/toxicology students presented formal and informal seminars on their research progress and on recent peer-reviewed literature from the field. Students in the audience wrote critiques of the research project or article, as well as of the presentations themselves.
Students were evaluated based on oral presentations, class participation, and a scientific writing component. All faculty members provided constructive written comments and a grade. The course master provided the presenter with a formal written review and returned a "red pen" revision of each student critique.
This novel seminar/writing course introduces intensive focus on writing skills, which are especially essential today given the large number of graduate students for whom English is not a first language.
将传统的研究生研讨课程转变为一门既强调书面沟通能力又强调口头沟通能力的课程。
药理学/毒理学专业的研究生就其研究进展以及该领域近期经同行评审的文献进行正式和非正式的研讨。听众中的学生撰写对研究项目或文章以及对展示本身的评论。
根据口头展示、课堂参与和科学写作部分对学生进行评估。所有教员都提供有建设性的书面意见和成绩。课程负责人为展示者提供正式的书面评价，并返还每位学生评论的“红笔”修改版。
这门新颖的研讨/写作课程特别注重写作技能，鉴于大量英语并非母语的研究生，写作技能如今尤为重要。
