Honestly, I feel like the maths and science lecturers are the source for reinforcing the paradigm that their job is simply to teach maths and science, not effective communications of the topics. Many of them likely feel the same way as their students.
At the bare minimum, they should explicitly and repeatedly mention in their courses the importance of taking writing classes, if not have an entire part of their own curricula devoted to these topics.
- cratermoon 6y agoThe number of educators with terrible communications skills is a real problem, and I'm not talking about language/cultural differences, either. In higher education, with the focus on research and publish-or-perish over teaching, there are many disincentives to effective communication and writing is constrained to the academic style.
