Altogether, the writing course, the information course and the work on the semester assignment will give the students an introduction to producing an academic text. This means to establish a scientific perspective on the material, and to present it with argumentation and in accordance with academic requirements. This work should also give the students an understanding of what distinguishes academic texts from other texts, and provide a basis for critical reading in later studies. The students will learn to use the library, to search for literature, and to practise criticism of sources. | Contents
