Your Paper

Task 01.01 - Topic Brainstorming

Collect topics and keywords as bullet points that could be of interest to you for your paper.

I recommend brainstorming for 20 minutes and writing down whatever comes to your mind.

Submission: You do not need to submit anything for this question.

Task 01.02 - Topic Selection

From your brainstorming output select three topics that you want to consider for your paper. Further, think about them, e.g.

  • What specifically interests you within that topic?
  • What further characteristics does the topic have?
  • What questions could you ask about that topic?
  • How could you solve those questions?

For this task, you must submit three topics, even if you have already chosen a topic for your paper.

Submission: Create one file to which you add all of the preparatory work for your paper. Call this file am_ss24_paper_lastname.md.


Happy Researching!
