Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Writing is as much part of economics as are models and data sets. This course aims to familiarise master students with essential writing skills and techniques, paying particular attention to discipline-specific writing conventions. This will be achieved through hands-on writing practice, in which reflection and revision will be vital elements. Please note that participants must have definite plans to write their M.A. thesis in English, ideally on the basis of a working title approved by their supervisor; some demonstrable experience in writing scientific English would also be desirable.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Regular attendance is mandatory. Assessment criteria are as follows: In-class participation (approx. 40%), two written assignments (approx. 30% each).
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Participants will be able to organize their own thesis writing process, to produce understandable and coherent paragraphs and to use suitable expressions and phrases in the corresponding sections/passages of discipline-specific texts.
According to the individual aims and needs participants will have learnt how to write meaningful abstracts, effective introductions and conclusions.
Participants will be capable of identifying and using suitable, discipline-specific patterns of academic language. They will be able to use key linguistic devices for argumentation and persuasion, guiding the readers through their texts.
