Scientific writing skills include writing ideas, opinions, and research results to other parties through written language. Scientific writing skills or research reports are needed for a career in science or education. Therefore, writing skills need to be developed systematically. The genetics course has been designed to develop scientific writing skills by providing a research project on Drosophila melanogaster. This study aims to analyse students' skills in writing project reports for genetics courses. This study uses a pre-experimental post-test-only research method using a practicum assessment rubric. Overall, writing skills obtained in compiling genetic practicum reports are in a good category. Students have good categories in writing titles and objectives, writing tools and materials, writing work procedures, and making observation tables. In addition, students have good categories in formulating problems, writing on a theoretical basis, and writing in discussions. However, based on the research results, it is necessary to improve further, especially in writing the formulation of the problem, theoretical basis, and discussion. © 2024 Author(s).
