Summary
The course "Writing professional and diploma theses" leads students to practical mastery of the principles, styles and strategies of writing professional texts, and also teaches them how to use some useful tools (citation editors, language correction tools, etc.) In the course, students are encouraged to be able to independently analyze and critically assess already published professional texts, and at the same time to create professional texts themselves. The basis for their work can be, for example, a bachelor's thesis already prepared by them or, on the contrary, a thesis in progress. Students will also pay attention not only to the preparation but also to the various forms of presentation of their professional work.
