How can I get better at writing scientifically?
Sunday, February 24th, 2008frances.bacon&eggs asked:
I’m taking my first upper-level biology course, which requires us to write a few short research papers. Almost all of my writing experience has been with literature/history papers, so I’m having trouble writing scientifically–I get too wordy, or I accidentally use phrases like “This proves that…” or I don’t structure a paragraph correctly.
How can I improve? Also, any general tips on this subject are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
