Course contents
The course is divided into two parts. The first part is called 'Text Analysis'. It focuses on two aspects of academic reading: 1) The development of a reading biography and 2) evaluation of rhetorical devices employed in various texts and research articles. The second part of the course is called 'Literature Review'. It involves producing a self-directed methodical literature review that focuses on the topic chosen for the subsequent Master thesis in education (course PDA184). Students are encouraged to employ the text analysis and evaluation skills they are developing during the Text analysis part, as well as the writing skills that are targeted in course PDA182, to successfully complete the Literature review part of the course.
