寫讀書摘要（memo）和學期報告（term paper）是社會學訓練的基本功。「怎麼讀書、怎麼寫閱讀摘要或學期報告，可以獲得最大的學習效益？」是社會系學生的普遍困擾。此外，若有更進一步的研究興趣者，也會有「如何進入研究實作？如何寫出研究計畫？」的困擾。本課程的主要目的即是解決這些普遍困擾。課程設計聚焦於研究論文的核心組成部分，透過「問題意識」、「研究設計」、「論證結構」、「現象建立」、「具體的無知」及「策略性研究材料」等主題，以及文獻搜尋、引文格式和簡報技巧等觀念和技巧的講解與實作，並以「文獻評讀」或「研究計畫書」作為落實這些學習的工具，建立社會研究與論文寫作的基本技巧

Writing reading summaries (memo) and term papers (term paper) are basic skills of sociology training. "How to read, how to write a reading summary or term report to get the maximum learning benefit?" This is a common problem for social studies students. In addition, those who are interested in further research will also be troubled by "How to enter into research implementation? How to write a research plan?" The main purpose of this course is to solve these common problems. The course design focuses on the core components of a research paper. Through topics such as "problem awareness", "research design", "argument structure", "phenomenon establishment", "concrete ignorance" and "strategic research materials", as well as the explanation and implementation of concepts and techniques such as literature search, citation format and presentation skills, and using "literature review" or "research proposal" as a tool to implement these learning, the basic skills of social research and paper writing are established
