Documents for term papers and thesis
In some Marepol modules, the final module exam consists of a term paper at the end of the semester. Here are two guides on academic writing that we have created for you. While the first one provides more information about our expectations regarding layout, structure, and citation, the second one focuses more on the fundamentals of academic work.
Before writing a term paper, please always discuss the research question and structure with your lecturer. Do not forget to include the affidavit when you hand in a paper.
| Brief Guide to Academic Writing in Political Science | Brief overview of academic writing skills, academic practice and formal matters (citation, layout, etc.) |
| Additions to the Brief Guide to Academic Writing in Political Science | How to set the focus, central theme, research question, and structure of a political science paper |
| Affidavit for term papers | Affidavit form for term papers, essays, etc. |
| Affidavit for master's thesis | It's important to fill it out and submit it with your thesis |
