Course Description:
Academic writing is a skill that can be learned! By engaging with selected modern literary texts in our writing lab, we will practice developing research questions, preparing outlines, drafting Exposés, constructing arguments, and commenting on academic positions. The goal of this course is to enable participants to prepare well-structured term papers, bachelor's or master's theses, dissertations, and presentations. We will also address the grammatical and stylistic peculiarities of the German academic language – including intercultural distinctions. Moreover, we will investigate the promise, perils and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) – and the extent to which AI can facilitate many areas of academic work but not replace the need for critical and innovative thinking. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to successfully stand their ground in German academic discourse.
