Teaching Objectives:
This course aims to develop students’ cross-cutting skills necessary for communicating scientific knowledge. It seeks to enable mastery of documentary research and the use of digital tools (ICT) to collect and organize information, to write clear and well-structured scientific documents (introduction, methodology, results, discussion according to the IMRaD framework), to deliver persuasive oral presentations adapted to the audience, and to comply with rules of ethics and integrity (particularly intellectual integrity in citing sources). The course emphasizes clarity and conciseness in scientific style—writing must be “precise, clear, and concise”—as well as the ethics of scientific communication (avoiding plagiarism, properly citing sources, etc.).
Prerequisites:
Students must hold a scientific baccalaureate or an equivalent qualification, with a good command of written and spoken French. Basic computer skills are recommended (word processing, Internet browsing, email).
