Course description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A student starting a MSc programme needs a deep understanding on writing and reading scientific reports and how the different dissemination channels work in science. Academic Skills in Forest Sciences introduces all aspects related to scientific discourse and academia. The course has already some tradition: it was originally conceived in 2010 for students of the MSc of European Forestry, in order to prepare them for the final thesis. Shortly after, it was open to all students of the School of Forest Sciences of the University of Eastern Finland. The course was originally conceived by David Gritten, and followed by Javier Ar\u00e9valo, under the leadership of Paavo Pelkonen and Timo Tokola. The present form of the course started in 2015 and has been originally designed and coordinated by Blas Mola and Olalla D\u00edaz; in 2018 Pierre Bernier was our guess lecturer. The course includes lectures, workshop exercises, a final seminar with oral presentations, as well as independent and collaborative work on learning tasks at this learning environment. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
