Scientific Writing
One of the most challenging, yet highly important tasks for students of all disciplines may be to develop their academic writing skills in an effective way. Not only will it be necessary to take into account a set of basic rules (the Do’s and Don’ts of Scientific Writing), but also to find individual solutions when facing widespread questions and problems, such as: How do I organize my material into a first concept? I really don’t know how to get my writing started. Are there any tips on how to keep myself motivated?
In this workshop you’ll get to know, and experience in practical exercises, a variety of methods suited for the different stages of the typical writing process. We’ll also identify some of the most frequent stumbling blocks that might occur during your writing project, and develop approaches on how best to deal with them.
Please bring exemplary texts from your field as well as specimens of your own written assignments, projects, or theses, so we can discuss common issues hands-on.
