Asking yourself similar questions can also help you write the final paper:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which courses or seminars did you find particularly interesting?<\/li>\n<li>Which lecturer inspired you during your studies?<\/li>\n<li>Did you write any papers that you would like to develop further?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grin.com\/de\/catalog\/\">GRIN shop<\/a> gives you an insight into the topics and questions from other students from your field.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-944d5dc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"944d5dc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1b49a0f\" data-id=\"1b49a0f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91e13a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"91e13a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"small\">Literature research<\/h2>\n<p>At the beginning of a seminar, you will often receive a bibliography which includes compulsory reading and provides a good starting point for your literature research.
