Academic Writing
General Information
A guide has been developed for writing term papers and theses. It includes, in particular, explanations of the various types of papers, as well as information on normative and critical thinking. In addition, it provides guidance on writing, literature research, and formatting requirements.
Idea, Research Question, and Scope of Expectations
Political theory thrives on ideas. Ideally, ideas can be taken from seminars and developed into a specific topic for a term paper. The research question and scope of expectations can then be derived from this topic (for more information, see the general guide above).
For literature research, it’s also worth checking out the Digital Library.
Consultation with Instructors
In particular, the research question and scope of the assignment—as well as formal requirements—may vary depending on the seminar. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to consult with the respective lecturers in a timely manner.
