Description
About this morning workshop for new students
During this workshop, students will explore how scientific articles are constructed and interpreted, how research findings are presented, and how scientific arguments are developed. Attendees will learn to engage with the scientific literature critically, to read and analyze efficiently, to distinguish their own work from previous work, and to cite and report the work of others responsibly and accurately. Each day attendees will read research articles and write informal critical responses to exchange with other attendees. The attendees will put their analysis into practice by constructing arguments about research literature, first in the form of short critical review of research articles, then in longer reviews of research in fields related to their own project.
In summary, the workshop aims to:
- Deepen understanding of scientific writing
- Develop strategies for working effectively with colleagues in writing
- Write critically and effectively about scientific articles in area of research
- Increase participants’ experience in writing and discussing scientific documents.
We value your feedback and welcome any comments you may have to help us improve our programs. Make sure you submit the survey after you have attended this event!
Umair Bin Waleed
Umair bin Waheed is a KAUST alumni and a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Geosciences, Princeton University. Since finishing his postdoc in 2017, Umair has been at the College of Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences, KFUPM as Assistant Professor. In addition to conducting scientific research, Umair has always been curious about communicating scientific findings. During his time as a postdoc at Princeton, he worked with the Princeton Writing Program (PWP) as a Writing in Science and Engineering Fellow under the mentorship of Judy Swan. He received intensive training in teaching writing at the PWP. Later he taught courses on scientific writing to graduate students from across disciplines at Princeton. Encouraged by the positive feedback from his students, Umair now conducts workshops helping students across different universities to effectively communicate their scientific discoveries through writing.
