Lärandemål

After completion of the English for IT element of the course, the student should be able to:

• analyze, read critically and summarize different types of academic and professional written genres.
• apply this knowledge in a text that critically summarizes state of the art knowledge on a topic and argues for an evidence-based perspective.
• provide constructive feedback to others, and communicate clearly and effectively their work in speech.
