Course Content:
Writing academic papers is a recurring challenge for many students. Often uncertainties arise as to how to proceed, especially if there is little or no experience with writing academic papers. This seminar aims to provide a theoretical introduction to academic writing emphasizing ethical and moral guidelines, general rules for writing academic papers, citation and referencing norms, and guidance on using academic language in English. Also, individual writing experiences and plans will be addressed in a practice-oriented manner. For this, different methods will be introduced to help students develop the skills, strategies, and confidence necessary to produce clear, concise, and effective academic writing. Through a series of exercises, students will explore and reflect on different methods in order to be able to organize their academic writing process more effectively. Both individual and common challenges will be addressed.

This seminar is aimed at students who are ideally facing a writing task at the time of the seminar and are looking to improve their writing process.

• reflect on your own academic writing experiences and strategies,
