Online Writing Group
Our weekly offer is suitable for students who regularly want to take some time to work on academic writing projects (e.g. essays, term papers or final theses).
The online writing group will allow you to make writing less of a solitary task and to network with your fellow students from home. Via Zoom in the beginning and Slack chat in between, the participants have the opportunity to get to know each other, exchange information about their concrete writing projects and individual challenges and motivate each other. The project team members will offer writing impulses, answer questions about academic work and provide feedback if necessary. All students are welcome, no matter what phase of their studies they are in!

“Ready for Your Exam? – Developing Learning and Examination Strategies Efficiently”
At the end of the semester, many students face several examinations in a short period of time. In the run-up to the exams, students will therefore have to work on, structure and learn for various subject areas so that the relevant knowledge can be retrieved with pinpoint accuracy in the exam situation. But how can this be achieved without losing your bearings or going into a state of panic?
The workshop “Ready for your exam? – Utilizing learning and examination strategies efficiently" aims to support students in reflecting on their examination experiences in a resource-oriented way and to extend the learning techniques and examination strategies they have been using so far in view of the upcoming examinations. In this way, preparation times can be planned and used more efficiently and any exam anxiety can be reduced.
