Topics covered include, among others, the stages involved in a research process, research methodologies and critical approaches, information research and the use of databases, working with primary texts, as well as formal aspects of a research paper like citation styles and plagiarism.We will discuss:
- how to find a topic and identify gaps in research about your material;
- the process of working from interest to topic to thesis statement;
- argumentative patterns and the creation of a table of contents;
- the relevance of editing, correcting and re-reading your own texts.If participants already work on a thesis project or have an idea they would like to work on, they will have the opportunity to present and discuss these ideas to/with the group. Ideally, you will bring an idea or outline for your thesis project to the course, because you can then use our discussions and the portfolio tasks to actually work on your project. However, students do not have to have a project, yet. By the end of term, some of you might have arrived at a concrete research and writing plan. Overall, students will be given the chance to develop a potential MA thesis project over the course of the class.
