Course objectives
The seminary has been primarily conceived for first year students of baltistics and puts mind to a metodology of professional academic reading and writing. This course should explain fundamentals of conscious work with (scientific) text from the filological point of view.
Syllabus
  • In this course students are going to be taught how they should work with scientific text (in conscious and consequent way) and which ways of studying texts could they use. Both reading and writing of scientific texts has been taught at Czech high schools in dissatisfactory way. That is why it is utterly necessary to explain to students basic rules of filological work, which they are going to need during their continues studies. First, how one can actually read a text? Then what is a difference between „common“ reading and professional reading? Which analytical procedures could we use when interpret a text? How one can write a scientific filological text (report, paper, bachelor or diploma thesis)? And finally which principles should we abide when we quote any source-book?
