Kommentar

The four seminar days are aimed at Master's students who want to learn strategies for writing their Master's thesis and already have an idea for a topic. The following questions will be answered in the centres: (1) How do I develop a compelling concept for my Master's thesis that allows an optimal focussing of the project and thus the text to be written? How do I write a suitable exposé? (2) How do I develop and write a well-structured theoretical section (state of research) and a corresponding theoretical framework? (3) How do I create a feasible research design? How do I structure and write a suitable analytical / results section? (4) How do I present the results of my Master's thesis in clear and understandable language? How can I revise my text efficiently?

All participants work on their specific project in order to be able to implement the input directly. Please bring an internet-enabled laptop and your topic ideas to the seminar.

Registered participants will receive an invitation with tasks to be completed in preparation for the seminar: 1. Task on selecting a topic, worksheet "Concept of my Master's thesis" 2. Tasks on setting up various work/writing tools: formatting templates, reference management software, research tools, collaboration tools.

A processing phase of the tasks during the workshop is followed by a feedback phase (in tandem, in the group or by the trainer to individual participants).
