Write on the edge: using a chemistry corpus to develop academic writing skills resources for undergraduate chemists (2016)
Journal Article
Bruce, M., Coffer, P., Rees, S., & Robson, J. (2016). Write on the edge: using a chemistry corpus to develop academic writing skills resources for undergraduate chemists. Chemistry education research and practice, 17, 580-589. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6rp00005c

Many undergraduate students find the production of an extended piece of academic writing challenging. This challenge is more acute in the sciences where production of extended texts is infrequent throughout undergraduate studies. This paper reports t...
