Research Seminar

Lecturers: Wolfgang Bach, Torsten Bickert, Kai-Uwe Hinrichs, Katrin Huhn-Frehers, Simone Kasemann, Heiko Pälike

Content:

The aim of this final course is to develop a concept and strategy for the master thesis of the students. Students are requested to submit their preliminary title and supervisor for their projected thesis. In close collaboration with the thesis advisors, a concept is then developed based on an intense contention with the actual research. While the development is conducted in small tutor groups, a large extent of independence is expected in the development and presentation of comprehensive research concepts by the students. Techniques of scientific inquiry (e.g., literature and data bank surveys, scientific rigor) and sound scientific conduct will be communicated and discussed.

Competences:

- development of a research proposal for MSc thesis
- formulation of sound research questions and/or hypotheses based on state of the art
- presentation and defense of own research concept
- critical evaluation of other concepts

Assessment:

20 % seminar talk
40 % seminar talk
40 % written report

Exam Form:

Presentation with written elaboration

Literature:

Literature will be provided by the tutor of the thesis
