Writing Workshops for Doctoral Candidates, Part 2: Writing a Draft – Revision

This course is only offered in German.

 

Starting point:

You have narrowed down the focus of your PhD thesis, tackled the vast amount of literature successfully, and now you are faced with the challenging task of organizing your thoughts and putting them on paper? This step is not always easy, but there are numerous writing methods that can help get you into a writing flow and create a coherent structure and a compelling text. A selection of methods will be presented and tested in the workshop.
In order to finally move from a draft to a final version, careful revisions are required. That is why the second focus of the course will be on how to distance yourself from your own text so you are able to systematically refine it, and how you can benefit from peer feedback here.
