Developing scientific papers and critical text analysis

The course aims to develop a doctoral student’s writing workshop in writing scientific articles and longer whole, such as a doctoral dissertation or a book. The classes are divided into two parts. In the humanities and social field, one deals with technical and editorial writing skills, the other with creating texts typical of the discipline. The area of science and natural sciences, and engineering and technology – one is for writing in Polish and the other in English.
