The Physics Course Laboratory Report as a Rhetorical Act
Event Start:
2019-05-16T10:00:00
Event End:
2019-05-16T11:30:00
Event Information:
The field of science education has paid considerable attention to what students should write in their lab reports, but comparatively little attention has been given the laboratory report writing as a rhetorical activity—one in which writers attempt to communicate with a particular audience for a specific purpose. This is unfortunate, since labs remain students’ primary experience with scientific writing in the undergraduate science curriculum—especially in mathematically-heavy fields such as physics.
Event Location:
Hennings 318
Speaker:
Cary Moskovitz, Director, Writing in the Disciplines, Thompson Writing Program, Duke University
