Providing students with adequate information is important. We teach concepts, ways to write, think and investigate in our class discussions, lectures, one-on-one meetings with students and in feedback on student assignments. In addition to these forms of sharing knowledge, I find it useful to provide them with written documents that they consult during the course and that (one hopes) may prove useful beyond the class. 

Contact me if you have suggestions on how to further improve them. I'm constantly updating these documents. 

HOW TO WRITE A RESEARCH PAPER

This guidance document not only provides students with the requirements they have to abide by  when writing a research paper. Importantly, it also contains pointers on how to do good research and how to write about it.

How to make A good Presentation 

This presentation on How to make good PowerPoint presentations sensitizes students to the intricacies of using the ubiquitous presentation tool in a way that actually enhances the understanding of their talk.

Response paper guidelines

Students regularly have to write response papers in which they reflect on the readings they study for class. In this background document I provide students with information on what matters (for me) and how I grade the papers.
