Paper 1 - Paper 2 - Project plan
Each week we will meet in groups to read and write about physics, and the aim is to support you in writing the master thesis project plan.
FYS5960/EIT5960 is mandatory, with a minimum attendance and participation at 8 of 12 sessions.
If you have any questions related to Writing Science, contact Wanja Paulsen (wanja.paulsen@fys.uio.no) or Mia-Katrin Kvalsund (m.k.o.kvalsund@fys.uio.no).

Introduction
Week 35
Introduction to «Writing Science» and how to read a research article.
Paper 1 – The structure of a research article
Weeks 36, 37, 38 and 39.
We will read and discuss a published research article, write a structured summary, and give each other feedback in small groups. The aim is to get familiar with an academic paper and learn to describe the results and findings using your own words.

There is no teaching in week 40.
Week 41, 42 and 43: Discussing the second article.
We will read and discuss the published research article specific for your study direction, focusing on how the authors have communicated the research they have performed. The aim is to get familiar with how we as researchers can effectively and accessibly share our science with an audience, whether that is our fellow peers or the general public.
Week 44: Citation and reading the second article.
A representative of the UiO Science library will visit us and talk about referencing and correct citation of scientific papers, a skill every master student needs. The plan for this week is as follows:
Referencing and citation:
Monday 31.10.22 at 14:15 in Origo - CANCELLED
Tuesday 01.11.22 at 09:15 in Tidrommet.
