Our Philsosophy
A student’s note is our way of capturing what moves us—sparked by books, lectures, conversations, or daily experiences. Writing helps us understand things more deeply.
We can’t provide a complete picture—probably never will. But that’s not our intention. The goal of the student collective is to explore topics as thoroughly as we can. The fact that much remains unresolved isn’t a weakness in our eyes. On the contrary: We don’t believe in quick truths, but in the idea that asking good questions is often more important than having clear answers.
The name A student’s note sums this up:
A – One voice among many. No claim to authority.
student’s – The perspective is exploratory: it comes from a learning process, not from finished expertise.
note – What you’ll find here aren’t truths, but thoughts, notes, and attempts.
Our Project
We write journalistic‑scientific essays and run podcasts. In this whole process, as stated in the philosophy, we are not experts, but in our view that is no problem because we try our very best.
Importantly, A Student’s Note is not only about the writing, speaking, or presenting, but also about the production and marketing of our content. This is also part of our philosophy. We want to be a completely student‑led, produced, and marketed production. This way we attain not only content‑based but also technical knowledge, for example how to edit and publish a podcast.
Our productions can be split into two themes: Descriptive publications are called Prolog and argumentative publications Politikum.
These basics provide the general framework for our collaborative work. Beyond this shared understanding, degree and type of participation are entirely up to the individual student. This is a hobby, not a job, and we mean it. Whether someone wants to write full essays, create a full podcast or simply write scripts or edit a podcast, they’re welcome.
We invite all social sciences students to join our team. We mean all students, and we want the team to be as international and diverse as possible. The unifying theme is a willingness to improve and learn by exploring different topics.
