Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
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.
Assessment and permitted materials
Regular attendance is mandatory. Assessment criteria are as follows: In-class participation (approx. 40%), two written assignments (approx. 30% each).
