IEEE Young Professional affinity group of IEEE Bangladesh Section presents a workshop on “Improving Scientific Writing”. The workshop will be held on 26th September 2020 (Saturday). Prof. Kristin Sainani, Stanford University will deliver an interactive session, and we will feature pre-recorded lecture videos from the “Writing in the Sciences” course offered by Stanford Online.

All Participants are encouraged to enroll in Stanford Online (https://online.stanford.edu/courses/som-y0010-writing-sciences) or Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/learn/sciwrite) to follow the course materials prior to the workshop. Participants who already completed the Writing in the Sciences course are encouraged to join the live session only.

For attending the live session, participants will be asked to participate in a quiz to verify that they went through the materials for the workshop.

Registration is free for the event. If we reach capacity in registration, we might prioritize IEEE members for allowing in the interactive session and request everyone else to attend a live streaming session.
