Abstract:

Scientific communication is a key skill in any academic education. At the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, students of the final year of the Bachelor in Computer Science have a course dedicated to scientific communication. This report documents the results of this course organized in the academic year 2022-2023. The aim of the document is to provide insights for teaching staff in a particular approach to organize such a course. On the other hand, the document provides insights for future students on communicating scientific results. We start with outlining the approach with goals, learning activities, assignments, and evaluation. Then we reflect on experiences with the course that can be considered for future instances of such a course. Finally, we provide the work products produced by the students during the course.
