Writing Workshops for Doctoral Candidates, Part 1: Reading Strategies and Time Management

This course is only offered in German.

 

When writing a doctoral thesis, time and work management play an important role. Without careful planning, long-term projects threaten to get out of hand and writers might lose their motivation. At the workshop, you will start out by reflecting and evaluating your own time planning, learn about time management strategies and apply them to your own project.

In the second part of the workshop, you will deal with strategies for reviewing and securing vast amounts of research literature as well as techniques for efficient reading. You will reflect on your previous approach and issues that might have occurred and will then proceed to try out new reading strategies.
