Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This seminar is designed to prepare students comprehensively for the challenges of academic writing and publishing, providing them with essential tools and skills to produce high-quality academic texts. Key components include developing research skills such as finding, reading, and synthesizing scientific literature, as well as writing various types of scientific texts, including abstracts, introductions, literature reviews, etc. Students will also learn to critically review academic work. The course will enhance students' skills in research, writing, and effective communication. Participants will gain proficiency in summarizing and classifying sociological research findings and writing clearly and persuasively within the context of social sciences.

The seminar is aimed at students who want to improve their research and writing skills and serves as preparation for students’ own academic work. Through in-class exercises and discussions, assignments and guided feedback, participants will develop the skills to produce and refine well-organized, scholarly work that meets the standards of academic publishing. The course is highly interactive, and active participation of students is expected.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The required written assignments, including tasks and exercises completed during the course and at home, must be submitted and will contribute to the overall assessment. Additionally, active participation in discussions is a key component of the performance evaluation. Attendance is mandatory; however, students may miss up to one session (2 1/2 blocks) without providing an excuse.

Important Grading Information:
All students who received a place in the course are assessed if they have not deregistered from the course in due time or if they have not credibly shown an important reason for their failure to deregister after the cause for this reason does no longer apply
Students who credibly show an important reason (e.g. a longer illness) for the withdrawal from a course with continuous assessment are not assessed.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer. The request for deregistration must be submitted immediately.
For a positive assessment of the course, all partial achievements must be fulfilled.
The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading.
The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only permitted if this is expressly requested by the lecturer (e.g. for individual work tasks).
In order to ensure good scientific practice, the lecturer can provide for a "grading-related discussion" of the written work submitted, which must be completed successfully.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as "not assessed" and recorded accordingly.
You can find these and other provisions in the study law: https://satzung.univie.ac.at/studienrecht/.
In case you have received three negative assessments of a continuously assessed course and want to register for a fourth attempt, please make sure to contact the StudiesServiceUnit Sociology during the registration period (for more information see "third attempt for continuously assessed courses" https://soziologie.univie.ac.at/info/pruefungen/#c56313)
