Prerequisites:
Please discuss with your lecturer (e.g. in the consulting hours) that you would like to revise the final version of your text and that you would like to be advised by the correction consulting service of DAWID.
If you use the correction consulting service, you must refer to the support provided by the DAWID project in the declaration of independence of your text with the following sentence: „The proofreading service provided by the DAWID project (German as a second, foreign, new … Language of science/ support measure for students) provided advice on correcting the language structure of this thesis.“
Phases in the correction process
| Pre-phase | A) Students send an appointment request to kbdawid(at)uni-hildesheim.de with the following information: Name and e-mail address of the lecturer, title of the course, number of pages, title of the paper as well as the deadline, so that the DAWID team can send an information e-mail to the lecturer. B) At the same time, students talk to the lecturer about the planned visit of the correction consulting (e.g. in the consulting hours). C) Students send the finished text (either a complete chapter or a complete paper) to kbdawid(at)uni-hildesheim.de. |
