Description

This offer is part workshop, part writing group and is intended for all students of the humanities and social sciences (Bachelor, PhD dissertation, Examen, Magister, Master).

A key aspect of this writing group will be giving and receiving feedback on your writing projects.

You will learn methods for giving effective feedback and this process will be guided. It is critical for writers to meet the needs of our readers, but it can be difficult for us to imagine or anticipate these needs on our own. (Questions we frequently ask ourselves during the writing process are actually about anticipating readers' needs, like: Have I made this point clearly enough? Does my structure make sense?) The peer-feedback process provides you with direct contact with your reader, helping you to make definitive progress in your writing project.

You will also be introduced to methods to support you as you write your thesis or final paper. These inputs will cover a wide range of topics: time management, narrowing a topic, developing a research question, dealing with and evaluating secondary literature, reading strategies, finding a structure, and revision strategies.

Content

• writing, revision, and research strategies for varying stages in the thesis-writing process
• Peer feedback

What to bring

Paper and something to write with.

Requirements

Committed, regular attendance, independent engagement in writing groups, and a willingness to give others insight into your text project, even if you feel it is not yet “finished" or “good." The Schreibzentrum's workshops can be credited to you for the optional modules of many subjects. You will receive a certificate of attendance from us; the credit will be given in the subject itself.

Accessibility

Are there ways we can make it easier for you to participate in our workshops (e.g., by taking regular short breaks, using a large font size in our presentations, sending you the presentations with image descriptions in advance, etc.)? Please contact us as early as possible at schreibzentrum@uni-frankfurt.de, stating the workshop you would like to attend, and we will try to find a solution to your request!

Registration

Please use the registration form for all courses and workshops. The registration deadline is seven days before the workshop begins. IMPORTANT: If you register for one of our workshops at short notice, you will not automatically receive access to the OLAT course, where the location and other important information are communicated and all materials are uploaded. In this case, please be sure to contact us at schreibzentrum@uni-frankfurt.de so that we can send you the link and password for the OLAT course.
The registration form for our courses and workshops is released on April 1 for the summer semester and on October 1 for the winter semester.
