The 17th edition of the classic "The Technique of Scientific Work" addresses all fundamental questions and situations of study: What does it mean to work scientifically? How do I find literature? How do I read texts? How do I take notes on what I've read? How do I write a term paper? How do I present a report? How can I successfully engage in discussions and competently lead them? All contributions are formulated in an understandable and practical manner. Thus, this constantly updated guide remains an indispensable companion for students from the first semester to the final exam.
