Therefore, in this course students are also familiarized with research methods and techniques in the social sciences. However, the course pivots around organizing and structuring a text as a coherent whole while focusing on issues of academic ethics (e.g. plagiarism). Students are expected to analyze academic texts in class and participate in all other course activities, with the goal of mastering a set of fundamental skills necessary for their studies and professional life.
