in Academic Reporting (TAR, 2 <span class=SpellE>ECTS</span>-credits), aimed at
providing support for students who are currently working on a piece of academic
writing (for example, a seminar paper, undergraduate thesis or even a research
article) in English. The module can be completed as part of <span class=SpellE>Tekniikan</span>
<span class=SpellE>englanti</span> 3 (the compulsory English course) or as an
optional module. The module description is pasted at the foot of this message
and can also be found online at <a
href="http://www.oulu.fi/kielikeskus/opinto-opas_englanti_fcm_TAR.htm">http://www.oulu.fi/kielikeskus/opinto-opas_englanti_fcm_TAR.htm</a>.
The TAR timetable is very flexible, comprising mainly independent work plus two
meetings with the tutor, which can be negotiated to suit each student’s
schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

academic text. The paper should be part of a student's own work, and could take
the form of, for example, a thesis proposal, part of a Master's thesis or a

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;
mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>The module includes two tutorials. Prior to the first
tutorial, the student submits the first draft of a text (approximately 10-15
pages) for diagnostic analysis. The teacher analyses the text and prepares
detailed feedback. At the first tutorial, the student is given advice on what
changes are necessary in order to improve the text and guidance about resources
available for independent work. The second tutorial is scheduled once the
student's second draft has been submitted and evaluated. At this tutorial, the
student's text is discussed further and additional advice is given for future
independent work. If necessary, the teacher may require further rewriting of
the text. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
