MUPIC COURSE

In reports presented during MUPIC I and II, students demonstrated solid language competencies.  In general, the structure of the reports was clear and well organized and respected the formal requirements for writing technical reports.  In most cases, the authors presented their arguments fluently and logically.

However, occasional mistakes in spelling and commonly confused words could be found in all written assignments, as well as grammatical errors that were able to distort the meaning of the statements.

Some mistakes were caused by language interference of the author’s mother tongue while others could be ascribed to the fact that report writing was a teamwork and language competencies of the individual writers differed a great deal.

Below you will find several basic rules for report writing/academic writing and a few descriptions of frequently made mistakes.
