Since academic writing is often considered particularly challenging, this module deals with specific methods that facilitate the writing process: dealing with inner blocks such as perfectionism, the reflective use of AI tools in academic writing and – particularly important – self-care in academia.

The final session is devoted to practical aspects of writing: How do I structure an academic text? How do I develop a viable research question?
