With a few select mechanisms for structuring and techniques for building arguments, it becomes possible to articulate even complex data clearly and comprehensibly. Coherently built up and convincingly formulated, even academic texts can be an exciting read!<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->In this workshop the process of academic writing was highlighted from the first idea through the structuring and formation of the text to its completion.
