Introduction
Scientific communication can utilize many channels such as written, oral, visual (PowerPoints), video, installations and prototypes or demonstrators and combinations thereof. All of them need a receiver willing to give you feedback essential for your communication skills improvement, here in a scientific context. This resource, as a communication receiver does not have that many interactive tools to give you feedback on your own original scientific messages. Instead this learning resource offers a range of scientific texts followed by study questions for you to contemplate on and compare to our reflections.
Robust scientific communication always starts with a state-of-the-art description. To create that description requires a search and analysis of the literature, i.e. a lot of reading. Hence, we believe it is worthwhile spending some time on this learning resource.
These texts are picked from an open source peer-reviewed scientific journal and from five abstracts written by examinees from our Bachelor’s Textile Engineering programme. The students write their theses in Swedish but they also contain an abstract in English. By entering the link you will enjoy the journal paper that you should study and then answer a number of questions. After this section you can also access a series of Bachelor’s thesis abstracts. After each abstract there are four questions to consider that you answer. After each of your answers a comment of ours will be revealed.
