Student audience

The book is addressed to the undergraduate student audience. The informal tone appeals to most laboratory students. The illustrations are delightful. The use of different type fonts is effective for emphasis. Also, Zubrick always explains why the particular sequence of operations is necessary, as well as how to manipulate and support the apparatus and substances. This is a definite strength. 

Keep in mind that both audience and purpose define a genre. Two pieces of writing with the same intended audience may be written very differently if they have different purposes. For example, a university catalog and a university student newspaper are both written for a student audience, but the two publications are distinct from one another in many ways (e.g., organization and content). 

What are some characteristics of writing intended for a student audience Look at a chemistry textbook. How has the author attempted to address a student audience Consider features such as examples, illustrations, and definitions, as well as the type of vocabulary used. 

Abstracts and titles are generally written for expert and scientific audiences however, parts of each are also typically accessible to a student audience. For example, the abstract in the aldehydes-in-beer article targets professional food chemists and analytical chemists specifically, but a student in organic chemistry could read the abstract and understand which aldehydes are present in aged beer. Moreover, the student could also discern from the title that the article is about aldehydes in beer.

Modern Spectroscopy has been written to fulfil a need for an up-to-date text on spectroscopy. It is aimed primarily at a typical undergraduate audience in chemistry, chemical physics, or physics in the United Kingdom and at undergraduate and graduate student audiences elsewhere. 

Since these lectures are intended for a student audience, they begin with an overview...

In France, the best students of an age class are attracted by engineering studies, and consequently the potential of the student audience differs from that of engineering departments in most other countries. Most engineering schools in France, called Grandes Ecoles d Ingenieurs, are independent of universities and train top industrial and administrative managers.
