Seminar Programme — Spring 2023
This semester we will dive into the craft of technical writing. The goal is to practice and improve in writing technical and formal texts. Therefore, during the semester, we will build 2 larger and more coherent texts – one for the RoFI group and one for the Divine group. The final texts will be published on RoFI and DIVINE websites.
Each participant will write three sections of the text. Each section will be created within a 4-week iteration:
- Each participant will create a draft of the section in week one.
- The text is peer-reviewed by another participant in week two. The group also shares the collected experience in a discussion. Every participant is expected to give a 3-minute lightning talk that introduces the text section.
- The participants are expected to incorporate the feedback in week three.
- All sections are finalized within week four, and a new section is assigned.
To pass the course, you need to deliver all parts of the text and actively participate in peer review and discussions.
