Is your pile of books also growing faster than you can read? Do you also have the impression that your memory of what you have already read fades too quickly? In this workshop, you will learn about reading as a differentiated process and become familiar with different reading techniques. The goal is to break down the reading process into several steps and to critically question conventional reading patterns. In addition, we want to encourage you to try out new approaches to reading and thus to approach new texts in a more variable way. The respective reading techniques are thereby suggestions for the individual design of a more productive and sustainable reading, which accompanies the entire writing process. Please have at least one text of your own ready.

Would you like to process and write down your scientific findings in a unique and creative way? Then, creative academic writing is an exciting process that allows ample room for your individual thoughts and ideas. In our workshop, we will try out various writing techniques and exchange our impressions with each other. The goal of the workshop is to explore your thoughts, create new ideas and strengthen your motivation to write. We will work together to explore new strategies and possibilities and encourage you to write texts that reflect your own interests and personality within the given framework, such as a term paper. Let’s work together to allow your creativity to flow into your scientific writing and make your writing project an inspiring and personal success!

In this workshop, we will discuss the pitfalls of writing an academic text in English (as a non-native speaker) from a structural perspective. A well-structured text will help your reader to follow your thoughts and understand your line of argumentation. We will also discuss how to develop an outline for the text and thereby plan the writing process.

On August/September , a brand new round of our Module Paper Workshop will begin. A small group of students will be supported and accompanied in writing a (module) paper in English. Your Instructors will be Lea Thelow and Christian Wollgast. 

Students of all disciplines are welcome to join.
