Kuvaus

Sisältö

This module is intended for doctoral students. The Introduction and the Conclusion sections occupy a rhetorically important position in a research paper, but writing them is often the most challenging task. The aim of this module is to help you write these two sections more purposefully, while being aware of their overall function and developing a more coherent structure that follows academic and field-specific conventions. Participants will use the main principles and strategies to analyze already published articles, as well as to improve their own texts with the help of self-assessment and peer/teacher feedback.

Arviointiperusteet
