Graduates:
Laura Macor, Writing Academic German (Monday, 10-11, wks. 1-4).
The class aims to familiarize graduate students with academic writing in German, with a view
to helping them publish in international peer-reviewed journals or similar venues. To do this,
classes will first focus on the differences between English and German academic writing, by
comparing English and German essays and books; the classes will then give concrete
suggestions about how best to structure a German article; finally, for those who may be in need
of specific advice, suggestions will be given in relation to their own subject. A high degree of
participation is expected. No extra work required.
