x) becoming a critical reader of scientific texts
x) being able to find, access and use scientific literature
x) becoming acquainted with writing different scientific texts (excerpt, proceedings/protocol, abstract, essay, research outline) while following the rules of scientific writing (correct citations) and becoming aware of ethical aspects of research and knowledge production
x) understanding the importance of providing target-group-oriented information in the process of diseminating scientific knowledge (e.g. in the process of tailoring presentations)The basis for developing these skills will lie, apart from studying introductory works on social scientific writing and researching skills, in engaging with scientific literature from different fields of political science. Class discussions and group-tasks will help in developing these skills, while the students are expected to read the mandatory texts for each class and hand in their homework on time.This course seeks to provide an engaging and inclusive study-environment and welcomes students with and without diabilities. If you should require special assistance, for example due to an impairment, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time, prefereably as soon as you are informed about being on the course. I will do my best to make the necessary adaptations, so that everyone enrolled is able to participate.For non-native speakers of English: Whereas a basic knowledge of English is required to follow and complete this course, language competence will not be graded. Instead, this course wants to provide an opportunity to practice and improve oral and written English language skills.
