"Long Night of Procrastinated Term Papers" 2025
Together, writing is less lonely.
Under this motto, we bring readers and writers together every year - on the first Thursday in March - to inspire and motivate each other.
The next "Long Night of Procrastinated Term Papers" takes place on March 6, 2025.
Reading and Writing Consultation (one-on-one)
How do I develop a research question and an outline? What strategies will help me to submit my work on time? How do I overcome writer's block? What tips will help me get started with writing? What does it actually mean to write academically?
You can discuss these and similar questions in a one-on-one consultation with a tutor. Together, you will develop strategies and methods for academic work..
Via our Learnweb course, you have the opportunity to schedule a one-on-one consultation with our tutors. We will also provide you with handouts on selected areas of academic writing (finding a topic, formulating a question, effective reading, writing a rough draft, etc.). If you have any questions or other concerns, please contact schreibt(at)uni-hildesheim.de.
