Abstract

The Research Seminar aims at helping students to develop research designs of their term papers and improve their academic writing skills. The seminar is meant to be a workshop resulting in a coherent term paper research design. The class consists of 9 pairs of classes, each pair (except for the first one) devoted to a particular aspect of research design. The first class is devoted to discussing contemporary academic literature with the focus on the specific aspects (e.g, the literature review), while the second class features the discussions of students’ texts within peer review teams. For the seminars students are expected to 1) prepare the specific part of their research proposal, 2) to read their classmates’ texts and comment on them.
