If you intend to take this seminar as a Proseminar, we will discuss the special requirements with you; probably, your paper will be shorter and your topic a little less "in-depth" than for a Hauptseminar credit. Some useful tips about writing a paper:
- Slides from a lecture by IKK on Formal Aspects of (not only) Seminar Papers
- Handout of a lecture by Geert-Jan Kruijff on Structure in Writing
