How do I write this?
Scientific reading and writing are part of studying like chalk is part of a blackboard: they help to structure ideas and communicate knowledge and follow a certain framework and criteria. But the first scientific texts are particularly difficult and pose many questions to first-year students. Why do I need a question? What is actually “scientific” about academic writing? How do I work with information from books and magazines? How do I cite correctly? And how do I write a structured and precisely formulated text?
The Schreibwerkstatt@FSZ provides answers. Here, students learn from trained fellow students how to structure their thoughts, argue scientifically and formulate texts precisely. In workshops and individual consultations, all students, regardless of their subject area, are supported in developing and expanding their writing skills - regardless of whether it is their first term paper, their first laboratory protocol or their final thesis.
