Are the workshops graded? Will grades appear on the certificate?
The workshops are not graded, so your certificate won’t include a grade. However, you’ll need to perform well in the exercises to progress through the course and complete it successfully.
Do I need any specific materials to participate in a workshop?
All you need is a computer with internet access and, of course, your curiosity to learn! We’re here to guide you through the rest.
Do I need previous experience in science communication or design to participate in a workshop?
No design background is needed! Our workshops follow step-by-step guidelines, and any design tasks can be done using simple tools like PowerPoint. You don’t need prior experience in science communication either – just a genuine interest in SciComm and a willingness to learn!
I have a busy schedule. How much time do I need to commit to a workshop?
Each workshop has an estimated completion time and is offered in an asynchronous format. Once you purchase the workshop, you have up to one year to finish it, so you can pace yourself and fit the estimated hours around your own schedule.
