Within this Lecture we will dive together deeper into the meaning of “Academic working” especially in cross-disciplinary circumstances.

Which skills do you have to develop to cope with the affordances of Academia? How to foster a successful “academic working behaviour” that satisfies the requirements of different academic disciplines and sciences you will come along within this study program?

Throughout our Sessions we will check out different survey- and reading-techniques and writing strategies, and apply them on different academic purposes and to create different types of text.

We will focus on unterstanding the main elements and epistemiological paradigmes within disciplines and discuss what it means to work, think and solve problems within disciplines or in inter-, or transdisziplinary contexts.

The final grade will consist of at least 17 tasks to be completed:

About one half of the tasks (9) will be done throughout interactive methods "in class", the other assignments (8+) should be completed between the lectures.

To finish this lecture with a positive grade,  you have to accomplish at least 5 "in class tasks" and 5 assignments.

To achieve the best grade, you have to take part successfully in 8 "in class tasks" and complete all 8 assignments in time.
