(in Polish) Academic writing 1500-SDN-AW-2025L3
The aim of the course is to learn about different styles of academic writing in contemporary humanities and improve one's own writing skills. During the course, we will discuss English-language academic articles and chapters of academic books, paying attention to their structure, the intended public, the affective dimension, linguistic conventions, the relationship between the subject of research and the writing style. We will also discuss the standards and formal requirements of academic writing. In the second part of the course, participants will write short analytical texts in English, which will then be discussed in class.
