Aim of the course

Last update: Mgr. Anna Papariga (21.01.2022)

The final task is a written analytical comparison of two related articles in the field of Economics.  Students choose articles/topics that reflect their personal interests in the field.

 

The skills practiced on this course are designed to support student writing throughout their first two years of study and beyond.

 

The RW1 course adds a focus on MAER students’ development of their required Topic Request Submission paper (due July 21 to the ASC for editing; official submission of the final draft in September 2021). RW1 students are also required to agree with a faculty member who will chair their MA thesis and to choose an MA thesis topic by 19 March.

This course is the first step of PhD/professional level writing in Economics.  We focus on ways that writing at this level differs from other types of writing.  Students will practice their analytical writing skills in formal, post-graduate level English.  There is an emphasis on accurate and effective citation and referencing, and the types of language used in professional texts in the field. The course includes lectures, peer review during the writing process, and individual consultations with the instructor.  Extensive written feedback on the work is given with a view to supporting future writing.
