This Research/Writing Seminar helps to prepare and supports your research and your work on the final thesis. We will cover topics such as: how to find an appropriate topic, how to come up with a first set of ideas, how to imagine an outline for your thesis, how to write a first draft, how to manage and organize your time. We will discuss the structure, possible thesis, main questions of imaginary and (your) real projects. We will talk about questions such as: how do you write an introduction, how should the conclusion look, how do you organize the main body of the thesis. We will also reflect on language and formal questions such as: how do I document my sources, which style do I take, how do I find literature in the first place etc. Methodology and theoretical grounding (or rather contextualization) of your work will be another topic.
The Moodle Key will be announced during the first meeting.
Course Requirements:
Every student is required to post (at least) one question about research or writing in the seminar. You will also have to turn in a real or imaginary thesis statement/argumentation for a thesis. In one of the later meetings, you will also have to present your work in progress.
