Course description
The purpose of the course is to introduce theoretical and practical tools that are necessary for writing an academic paper.
The course is made up of 5 meetings which are divided into four two hour lessons and a fifth concluding one hour lesson.
During the course the students will become familiar with the basic principles of academic writing; with how academic writing differs from other forms of writing; and with the way arguments are presented and developed in the social sciences.
With an aim at assisting the students in their first year, a short assignment will let students practice what they have studied.
