Semester Events Program Academic Writing - Term Papers

Content

Academic writing poses major challenges to students. How do I start? How do I need to formally structure my assignments? And what do the instructors expect? This task becomes even more daunting if you are supposed to do it in a foreign language.

The tutorial offers a compact overview of the most important elements of academic writing and familiarizes students with the main skills needed for planning and completing an assignment:

  •     Efficient structuring of information
  •     Formal aspects of a term paper
  •     Banishing writer’s block
  •     Wissenschaftssprache

Please note

The tutorial focuses on “German scientific language” with hints on how to write a German-language term paper. Therefore, the course is designed for international  students with very good German language skills. 

There is also a corresponding English-language tutorial for international students enrolled in degree programmes taught in English.
