230508 Advanced Academic Writing (BS) (WiSe 2019/2020)

Advanced Academic Writing (AAW) is designed as the finishing module element in PM3. The block seminar will offer a hands-on writing workshop, offering you the chance to

- develop your individual PM3 writing projects
- discuss the writing process/outcome with peers and the lecturer
- re-work your paper's outline/structure
- re-phrase or re-scale your thesis statement(s)
- practice coherence and cohesion in building arguments and writing the overall paper
and, ideally,
- to finish your module paper by the end of the workshop.

Practical tips and complementary writing tools incorporated in the seminar are meant to assist you with your individual writing projects.

An introductory session will take place on October 30, 2019, during which we will talk about the objectives of the seminar, the workload, and the nature of the working relationship you need to develop with both the lecturer with whom you are writing the module paper and the AAW instructor.
