Course content
The emphasis in the course is on academic writing and reading in preparation for a master's thesis, among other things. The students are introduced to practical and theoretical perspectives to academic writing and to disseminating subject matter and research. Emphasis is also placed on writing as a learning tool. Academic reading includes articles on previous research and key theorists in the respective fields of study, and will be thematised through text seminars and work on annotated bibliographies. One of the aims is that students should be able to read and use relevant theories and previous research adapted to their own field of study. The students will also develop oral and digital skills that are relevant in various academic genres. They shall present text readings and their own work to their co-students in different formats and forms of presentation. The course is intended to serve as a link between subject-specific master courses and the course in scientific theory and method in the first year of the programme and the work on the master's thesis in the second year. Guidance on master's theses will be covered in parts of the course.
