    We all make mistakes when we speak or when we write. This is not a big problem - unless we correct these mistakes, of course. In the first three units of this course, we will focus on common mistakes in academic context.

    Below, you will find two scientific articles. The first one was written by two Chinese authors and the second one was written by a native speaker of English.

    (1) Read both articles and pay special attention to highlighted sections.

    (2) After that, do the related exercises.

    It may come as a surprise in the twenty-first century to discover that, in the 1880s, details of how objects move were unknown. The human eye, unaided, cannot resolve the details of fast motion. Eadweard Muybridge and his experiments with motion photography, such as this series of pictures of a horse's gait, helped solve this mystery.

    This is yet another "tutorial" on how to design scientific posters. We added it to the course content because it presents the topic in a very flexible - a bit too friendly - way.

    Note that there are several spelling mistakes ("carefull") in the text.
