This research/writing course is designed to prepare and support you in writing your BA-thesis.
We will cover topics such as: How to plan and organise your BA-thesis-project; how to find an appropriate thesis topic and a central research question; how to come up with a first outline and structure of your thesis. Furthermore, we will talk about bibliographical conventions, the use of academic language, about methodology, theoretical grounding and contextualisation of your topics.
The class is most effective for those students who are about to start thinking about and writing their BA thesis; that is, it does not make sense before the 5th semester (even if the "Idealtypische Studienverlaufsplan" suggests something else). Each student needs an academic writing project to make most of this class. |
