Argumentation in Scientific Writing
A workshop offered by the Bonn Graduate Center
Scientists have to be able to present their arguments in a precise and convincing way.
However, when writing their papers, many scientists rely on intuition rather than on
concrete methods. This course provides participants with all the techniques they need to know in order to state their arguments precisely, correctly and convincingly.

Description
The course starts with the basic concepts of reasoning and logic: validity and soundness of arguments, deductive and inductive reasoning, common types of logical inferences. From these basics, we derive useful techniques for argumentation in scientific texts.
Participants get the chance to apply the acquired skills directly to their own work, and they
get extensive individual feedback from the trainer after the course.
