• Obsah semináře: This seminar draws parallels to the seven steps of the management decision-making process in that it outlines the activities from the academic problem identification phase to that of problem resolutions and feedback. Participants learn to:
  • Define a compelling and viable problem, question, or project;
  • Formulate an arguable thesis in response to the problem, question, or project;
  • Use library and other research tools to locate sources, and manage searches efficiently and ethically;
  • Actively engage sources in an intellectual dialogue, always distinguishing one’s own ideas from those of others;
  • Substantiate and develop ideas through the analysis of evidence and the critical use of Sources;
  • Recognise and contend with counter-arguments and other possible objections;
  • Organise ideas coherently and compellingly;
  • Express ideas in clear, cogent sentences;
  • Insightfully critique their own writing and the writing of others;
  • Revise for clarity and cogency at every level, based on self-critique and critique from others.

  Methods: techniques to read effectively and efficiently, note-taking techniques, plagiarism tracking systems, worksheets and check- lists, review and critique techniques, role-playing.
