Learning Outcomes
Through a series of lectures, the course aims to equip students with the basic linguistic background in computer science. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to understand a variety of academic texts in their field and will have gained proficiency in pre-writing exercises such as: paraphrasing, summarizing, metaphors, analogies, and skill simulations.
