Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The development of a theoretically informed and precise language is a prerequisite for any prospective social scientist.Too often we are not aware of the personal opinions and theoretical assumptions that we communicate in and through our texts; contradictions and incoherencies in our argumentations are overlooked. It does make a difference in meaning for instance where a word is placed in a sentence.To develop a sense for these differences in meaning, we will write texts, meticulously analyse individual example sentences and examine the logical coherence of whole text passages. It is throughout the writing process that we can become aware of the theoretical concepts and conceptualisations that we use to make sense of the world. The more differentiated we become in our linguistic expression, the clearer will be our arguments.Ultimately, the primary aim of this seminar is to learn how to produce texts that fulfil the scientific criteria not only formally, but also in terms of their linguistic expression.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Over the semester we will ‚produce‘ a number of (short) texts – both in preparation for each seminar, and also during the seminar. At the end of the semester, the collection of these texts will have to be submitted (= term paper).The language of instruction and discussion is English. Students are expected to engage in class discussion.Grading Scheme
The course assessment comprises class participation (50%), and the submission of the term paper, which equals to the collection of texts produced during the semester (50%).Attendance
Presence and participation is compulsory. Absences of four semester hours at maximum are tolerated, provided that the lecturer is informed about the absence. Absences of up to eight semester hours may be compensated by some extra work agreed with the lecturer. Absences of more than eight semester hours in total cannot be compensated. In this case, the course cannot be completed and is graded as a ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfil the attendance requirements on the student’s side (e.g. a longer illness). In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate this in a timely manner, and to provide relevant evidence to their claims if necessary. Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer.
