Course objectives
Seminar lectures related to the subject Information Science. Course is propaedeutic to the terminology used in English texts given in the course of Information Science 2. It is suitable for students with weak English skills who have difficulties in understanding texts. It focuses on information science-related terminology, its meaning, interpretation and translation, and enables students to work effectively with the content of scientific texts. Attention is paid to the troublesome terms and passages, which students do not understand. We don’t leave techniques for working with text and notes out. The course is conducted through personal meetings with full-time students and group online meetings or videorecordings with distance students.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student is able to: - actively read English written sources - create their own system of notes on the literature studied - understand terminological problems in the assigned literature
