UB|SchreibSprints

  • In the writing time, we guide you to work on your project in a focused way for about one hour.
  • You will learn how to prepare for your writing task and stay focused. You may also get to know your writing buddies better and find yourself in small writing groups that meet beyond the dates offered.
  • Bring your writing assignment with you - it doesn't matter whether you want to sort and write down your thoughts, finally write that one excerpt, get an outline down on paper or pour your introductory notes into two paragraphs of proper text. A lot of text in a limited amount of time, that is the goal of the writing sprint.
  • Set yourself a goal, define it concretely. At the end of the writing time, we reflect together on what you have achieved.
  • After writing, you have the opportunity to discuss your questions about your text and about writing itself in the IwiS writing advice.

Do you need advice?

Please note that the writing sprints (02:00 - 03:00 pm) are not a counselling service. The focus of the writing sprint is on the motivation to write, the promotion of a writing routine and the mutual exchange.

If you have questions or need advice, please feel free to use the following services:

  • Writing advice: Stay in the writing room after the writing sprint and use the writing advice of the IwiS.
  • Advice from the UL: We support you in all questions concerning literature research and literature management.
  • Language advice on the language telephone: For all questions about spelling, punctuation and grammar.
  • Literature on scientific work (Semester collection 999):
