[課程目標]
雖然每一位同學有興趣的領域各自不同，但是學術研究的唯一真理就是要不斷的寫作。一般來說，僅只閱讀無法深化理解，唯有寫作才能釐清閱讀與思考的盲點。本課程重點如下：引導同學閱讀文獻、整理讀書筆記訓練、基本寫作能力、學術格式、學術倫理、問題意識、理論命題、選擇研究方法、克服寫作困境…等。從memo寫作方法進入到小論文寫作，幫助同學面對自己文章與修改方法，同時欣賞不同作家的寫作「論理」方式，然後寫出自己的小論文。
本課程主要分三部分：閱讀訓練、基礎學術寫作與進階學術寫作，且重視實作訓練。課程協助同學培養良好的寫作習慣與解決問題的能力，且必須了解學術工作的特質，如研究發表、論文引用規範、指導老師角色、師生關係、研究者的 情緒等相關問題。同時，課程將邀請學者專家分享自己寫作經驗。
[授課方式與成績評定方式]
本課程透過每週一主題的練習，讓大家逐漸進入寫作論文狀態。因此，隨課程需要，每週上課需繳交A4（1頁至兩頁）的作業以便討論。本課程需要配合指導老師的論文建議，因此先找指導老師為佳。
**成績評量：
1.本課程每一週都需繳交memo（最少1-2頁），佔30%；
2.期中考週：繳論文研究問題意識，佔20%。
3.期末作業（論文計畫書，或者一份完整小論文一份）佔30％；
4.上課導讀文本、平時出席與討論成績佔20%，三次不到課，無平時成績。
5. 同學須參與教師與本課程相關的系上演講活動，若沒有繳交作業，無成績。
*注意：老師需要幫同學改memo作業，繳交請於上課前三天下午五點前，寄出電子檔（寄給上課教師與同學）到ilearn。

[Course Objectives]
Although each student has different fields of interest, the only truth in academic research is to keep writing. Generally speaking, reading alone cannot deepen understanding. Only writing can clarify blind spots in reading and thinking. The focus of this course is as follows: guiding students to read literature, organize reading note training, basic writing skills, academic format, academic ethics, problem awareness, theoretical propositions, choosing research methods, overcoming writing difficulties... etc. From the memo writing method to short essay writing, it helps students face their own articles and revision methods, while appreciating the "theoretical" writing methods of different writers, and then write their own short essays.
This course is mainly divided into three parts: reading training, basic academic writing and advanced academic writing, with emphasis on practical training. The course helps students develop good writing habits and problem-solving abilities, and they must understand the characteristics of academic work, such as research publication, paper citation standards, the role of the instructor, teacher-student relationship, researcher's emotions and other related issues. At the same time, the course will invite scholars and experts to share their writing experiences.
[Teaching methods and performance evaluation methods]
This course allows everyone to gradually get into the state of writing papers through exercises on each Monday's theme. Therefore, depending on the needs of the course, A4 (1 to 2 pages) homework is required for discussion every week. This course requires thesis advice from the instructor, so it is best to contact the instructor first.
**Achievement evaluation:
1. This course requires a memo (at least 1-2 pages) every week, accounting for 30%;
2. Midterm exam week: Awareness of thesis research issues, accounting for 20%.
3. The final assignment (thesis proposal, or a complete short paper) accounts for 30%;
4. Class introductory text, usual attendance and discussion scores account for 20%. If you miss class three times, you will get no usual score.
5. Students must participate in lectures given by teachers related to this course. If assignments are not submitted, there will be no grades.
*Note: Teachers need to help students correct their memo assignments. Please submit the electronic file (to the teacher and classmates) to ilearn before 5pm three days before class.
