Description:
|
EN:
Overall, this course aims to help students become critical consumers of evidence in the field of public health, capable of finding scientific evidence, critically interpreting it, assessing its merits in relation to specific public health questions, and credibly communicating it in writing. To achieve this aim, the module invites students to write a narrative literature review (Year 1 Paper). Properly planned and conducted literature reviews are indispensable for public health science and practice. Depending on the kind of review, they allow to map concerns existing in a particular field of practice, point out gaps in what is known regarding a specific topic, and bring together existing evidence to reliably answer questions regarding effectiveness, appropriateness, costs and many more of public health interventions.Your work on the Year 1 paper will be supported by tutorial meetings on academic writing. Your writing process will be supported by an English writing training course given by staff members from the Language Centre (LC). During this training course, you will be taught the essentials of writing an academic research paper and attention will be paid to the avoidance of plagiarism (scientific integrity). Academic writing tutorials form a central part of the Year 1 paper course. They are specifically designed to help you write your narrative literature review as required by the Year 1 Paper assignment.
