Beschreibung
This course is designed to give first year PhD Students an aid for their academic endeavour. Just like in Research Design, the focus lies on methodological competences. At the same time, however, this course also aims at techniques rather than design strategies. The objective is to provide core compentences on how to craft a scientific text properly. Due to the concept of peer-monitoring applied in this course also social competencies will be trained.
During the first year students will be working on their academic writing style, they will be made familiar with normative writing styles and ways to publish tackling various kinds of genres, and they will help and learn from each other through peer-monitoring activities. As a base sample texts will be used and the texts students will be producing will be worked on. The course is built on four pillars:
- Knowledge Management:
Working with databases, literature management softwares, etc. - Publishing:
How to write and publish various genres: abstracts, research papers, articles, data commentaries, reviews, project proposals, formatting, etc. - Peer-Mentoring:
Giving and receiving feed-back, presenting and reviewing, considering peer-feedback, joint writing activities, etc.
