Guideline for the Preparation of a Term Paper

The guideline is intended to help students of the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs “Science - Media - Communication” of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) to write a term paper.

After the guide existed for a long time only as a PDF file, I converted it into a web version at the end of 2020. This was created with MkDocs . The source code is hosted on the GitLab instance of KIT .

The entire guide is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) . However, so far it is only available in German.
