Workshop Description

Students will learn how to present scientific information in their final year project report or in their MPhil/PhD thesis. Topics covered will include the use of the IMRAD (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion) format as well as what to include in the other sections (such as the Title page, Abstract, Acknowledgements and References) of a successful report. The design and use of appropriate figures and tables will also be covered. This workshop is most useful for students (UG and PG) studying the Biological Sciences.
