This semester we are going to take a closer look at the urban environment and are going to envision the city of the future. By 2050, 70 to 80 percent of the world's population, which by then is going to be almost 10 billion, will be living in cities. To get our cities ready for the future, we need to not only solve today's environmental problems, such as air pollution and climate change, but we need to try to also anticipate what other new challenges the future may bring. We will explore various topics through classroom debates, small group work, listening and reading exercises, as well as presentations, and we will work together towards our common goal of developing a more sustainable and livable city of the future.

Type of course

optional

Mode of delivery

face-to-face

Language of instruction

English

Assessment criteria

compulsory attendance 75%, pass mark 60%

Course content

Writing for Study and Research complements the ‘Introduction to Academic Writing’ course, although these courses may be taken in any order. Both are particularly suited to students in higher semesters who are preparing to write their final thesis or dissertation.

Primarily, this course concentrates on the skills needed and the approaches taken in the writing of research articles/papers and aims to refine such skills within the individual fields/papers of the students. An analytical approach is taken to identify discipline- specific elements, which are then applied to each participant’s own writing.

Additionally, published works from a range of fields are analyzed and compared and the use of digital tools is dissected. Over the course of the semester, participants expand their skills by writing two short research paper-related texts followed by a longer-form final paper.

Learning outcomes

Participants can write their own scientific papers in their respective discipline.

Prerequisites and co-requisites

Students of higher semesters with a placement level of at least C1
Students who place on C2 are expected to show a higher level of proficiency.

Assessment methods

Portfolio (written assignments)

This course is not recommended for 1st semester students.
