This Research/Writing Seminar helps to prepare and supports your work on the final thesis. It is conceptualized for the MA students; but if BA students need the seminar, it is also open to them. 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. 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. And finally we will talk about methodology and the theoretical grounding (or contextualization) of your research thesis.
Online Format: This will be a synchronous format, i.e. we will meet in a weekly video conference. I will provide some material through moodle and the video-conference access (through moodle), we will all think about questions and meet from 4 PM s.t. to 5 PM s.t. on Thursdays.
Support:
There will be a Moodle site with information and links.
Requirements:
- You will have to turn in a real or imaginary thesis statement/argumentation for a thesis. You will also have a chance to present your work in progress.
