Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course aims to help students in the process of writing their MA. We will consider the various stages of MA-writing; consider the choice of primary and secondary sources as well as the types of questions that are worth pursuing. We will also look into the structure of the thesis, argumentation, and support. In the course, participants will have a chance to present their work in progress and get (peer-)feedback. It is recommended that the students have already started their MA-writing process (found a supervisor and the topic).
