SUMMARY:Presentation Skills and Good Scientific Writing
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Skill Course\, Special Course \nLecturer\nTim Korver (Individual English Training\, Munich) \nSummary\nPresentation Skills | An effective and successful scientific presentation convinces the audience that the research offers a valuable and relevant contribution to the field. To accomplish this\, researchers must deliver a clear\, engaging\, and easy-to-follow narrative. \nEffective presentations strike a balance between key elements: \n\nBuilding a logical and persuasive argument\nDemonstrating your credibility through body language & voice\nClearly conveying key takeaways\nManaging the Q&A effectively\n\nThis workshop will enhance presentation skills and techniques with a focus on making it easier for the audience to follow—an essential responsibility of any presenter. Participants will also gain a structured approach to using rhetorical techniques for clearer communication. In the workshop\, you will have the opportunity to prepare and deliver short presentations and develop strategies for handling audience questions. \nWorkshop activities include:\n\nStructuring presentations for clarity and impact\nEnhancing credibility with gestures and vocal delivery\nHighlighting key messages effectively\nDelivering a three-minute thesis presentation\nHandling audience questions with confidence\n\nPlease prepare a 6 to 8-minute presentation on your current research. If you do not yet have results\, you may base it on your Master’s research. \nGood Scientific Writing | Clarity is one of the most essential qualities of strong scientific writing. It allows researchers to communicate their findings as effectively as possible in academic publications. To meet the standards of scientific journals\, your writing must convey ideas clearly\, efficiently\, and with a sense of precision and elegance. This means choosing simple\, well-structured language at every level—within sentences\, across paragraphs\, and throughout the entire text. \nBut what exactly makes a text well-written? And why do some papers feel easier to follow\, with a stronger sense of flow and coherence? \nIn this seminar\, you will learn how to write clear\, journal-style texts that meet the expectations of scientific publication. We will explore a range of writing techniques aimed at improving clarity\, conciseness\, and coherence—skills essential for effective academic communication. \nTo write well\, it also helps to understand how readers read. Insights into how the brain processes written language can help you craft texts that are easier to read and understand\, making your work more accessible to peers and reviewers. \nThe seminar follows an interactive format\, using a variety of activities and feedback to support learning. We begin with sentence-level exercises designed to address common issues that hinder clarity and reader comprehension. A comprehensive seminar handout accompanies the training\, summarizing key principles and practical techniques for writing strong scientific texts \nDuring the seminar\, you will work on the following aspects of scientific writing: \n\nAchieve clarity and conciseness by simplifying sentence structure and vocabulary\nEnsure cohesion through effective linking and logical text structure\nWrite with the reader in mind to enhance comprehension\nDevelop well-reasoned and structured arguments\nOrganize sentences and paragraphs for better flow\nEstablish overall coherence across the entire text\nUse correct verb tenses and punctuation consistently\nApply active and passive voice appropriately\nCraft effective titles and abstracts\n\nPlease bring or prepare an abstract of your research. This text will be used during the seminar for hands-on editing and feedback exercises. \nIn addition\, please bring along other samples of your scientific writing. These will serve as a basis for applying the techniques discussed in the seminar to your own work. \nSchedule\n01.10.2026          09:00-17:00 (incl. breaks)            IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room\n02.10.2026          08:30-16:30 (incl. breaks)            IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nRegistration\nPlease register for the course until August 31\, 2026 by sending an e-mail to cgde@iwh-halle.de. \nThe course is designed for a maximum of 12 participants.
