This course is for those who are fairly close to taking their final exams, whether that be the "Erste Staatsprüfung" (Lehramt) or the various tests that lead to a Magister (only the so-called “alte Ordnung”). We do a fair amount of writing in class (so as to give you practice writing while under a time constraint). We will often look at excerpts from your writing and focus in on what is good about it and what can be improved. In addition, we will discuss plagiarism and the associated topics of source citation and paraphrasing. We will also look at the writing of others and discuss styles, tools, and anything else related to good writing. Please consider the fact that this course is always overbooked early in the semester; please do not treat it as a free writing workshop that you come to from time to time. Plan on taking part once—at most, if you must, twice—before you graduate. |
