On the one hand, this is where you can ask any questions that might come up during the semester regarding the lecture or your studies in general. On the other hand, we will repeat and apply contents from the lecture to practice your analyzing and interpreting skills. Also, and very importantly for the rest of your studies, we will cover all the necessary steps and processes that you will go through when writing your term paper, give valuable tips and tricks, and workshop your topics and thesis statements.
