LV-Beschreibung

Englisch

Intendierte Lernergebnisse

This course assists students of economics in writing their Bachelor's thesis.

Students will develop, practice, and refine their ability to:

reflect on and adapt their own writing process
analyse and critically assess publications for their own texts
effectively summarise and respond to texts
present arguments and draw conclusions
create coherent and cohesive texts
critically engage with their own and other students' texts

Lehrmethodik

Lectures, discussions, in-class activities, group-work, individual exercises, self-study, and writing assignments for the portfolio.

Please note that this course will be taught entirely in English, although individual consultations can also be held in German. This, however, depends on the needs of the students.

Inhalt/e

As English has become the global language of scientific communication, publication, and exchange in the technical sciences and economics, there is an increasing demand for competent writing in English within university courses. It is, therefore, especially important to acquire and practice English writing skills. This course teaches the basics of scientific writing in English – understanding texts and how to use them in your own writing, the writing process itself, arguments in scientific writing, text organisation and structure, and the language itself – which will then also be put into practice.

Session I: Getting off to an Effective Start

basic skills/basic knowledge for planning scientific texts
formalities/standards of writing a BA thesis
research tools and techniques
scientific reading strategies and reading techniques

Session II and III: How to find a Structure for Your Text

time management and creating a schedule
narrowing down the topic and specifying the research question
drawing up a preliminary outline (table of contents)
analysis of best practice examples
different sections of a BA thesis (Abstract, Introduction…)

Session IV and V: Writing and Revising Your Text

presenting arguments and one’s own opinion
integrating (in)direct quotations into one’s text
English scientific writing:
- norms and conventions,
- language and style,
- coherence and cohesion (from sentence to paragraph to text)
writing your first draft (incl. resources)
peer feedback
analysis of best practice examples
revision strategies
