Tematika

The course provides assistance in the high-quality preparation of the thesis, dean's thesis, presentation (for the defense and others), articles, other scientific publications, work plans, tender documentation, CV, and minutes.

Participants can gain practical knowledge of the basics of copyright; the correct use of templates; how to correctly cite literary sources; what are the rules, structural and formal bases for creating figures, tables, and textual content elements; how to edit, format, and prepare a written work for printing.

During the practical lessons, participants can learn to use document and text editor, presentation maker, and citation manager software (including World, PowerPoint, and Excel).

During the lessons, the participants can work with example documents or even with their own research material (e.g. their thesis, dean's project, the outline of these). They can learn about common mistakes in theses and presentations, the difficulties experienced, and the simplest possible (often automated) solutions.
