In this course, students will improve their academic writing skills with a view to successfully composing term papers and their MA Thesis in their fourth semester. We will take a closer look at various formal and stylistic aspects of thesis writing, for instance good chapter and paragraph structures, citations, register, linguistic accuracy, and appropriate and varied vocabulary. (Students discuss content with their professorial supervisors.)

The course will consist of a survey introduction which focuses on formal and stylistic difficulties of writing a thesis and related student questions, as well as several individual consultations.
