Course Programme on Academic Writing
Hausarbeit schreiben smart: Word-Grundlagen für gut formatierte Arbeiten
By the end of this course, you will know how to structure and format academic papers clearly and submit them well prepared.
The term paper deadline is approaching. Many of you will be familiar with this: the text is actually finished, but then the work on the document starts all over again. Page numbers are incorrect, the table of contents doesn’t update as expected, headings look inconsistent and individual formatting elements keep shifting. This can be avoided.
In this course, we’ll show you how to structure and format an academic document in Word sensibly right from the start. This will help you keep track of things even with longer papers and enable you to use page layout, style sheets and indexes reliably.
What to expect
- We’ll build a scientific document in Word step by step.
- You’ll learn how to set up headings, style sheets and sections effectively.
- We’ll show you how automatic features such as page numbers and tables of contents work reliably.
