Scientific writing, is an indispensable aspect of studentship (term paper and thesis writing) and scholarship (journal papers and all forms of scientific written communication). It is, therefore, a key step in the scientific communication process. It cannot be overlooked in undergraduate (honours) courses. This is designed to help students improve their abilities to effectively communicate research processes (from conceptualisation up to findings, and conclusion). In order to increase the emphasis on effective writing, this course gives succinct step-by-Step guide to scientific writing by breaking down the scientific writing process into easily digestible pieces to enable students become knowledgeable in writing their academic thesis. Academic thesis aside, the course exposes students to the scientific writing process, and insight into research paper writing as a core activity in the careers of land surveying and land administration experts in the industry and research institutions.
