You will bring your own text to the workshop so you can start working with it right away. For example with your bachelor thesis or master thesis in progress. In the workshop you will learn which characteristics an academic text should meet and how you can check and improve your own texts on these characteristics.
We pay close attention to text coherence because research has shown that students often find this a difficult task while writing. You will be taught strategies to assess and improve the coherence of your texts. We will also use the DigiRevision website that gives students automatic feedback on text coherence. After the workshop, you will know how to improve your texts and writing skills independently.
