Inhalt
This course teaches you how to perform research. According to most Prüfungsordnungen your Bachelor or Master theses have to be scientific work, and this class teaches you how to do it. The class consists of a weekly lecture (2 SWS) with associated exercises (2 SWS). The lecture part covers the following topics:
What is science?
The research process
Exploratory research
Confirmatory research
Writing a thesis/paper
The scientific community
Taken as lecture + exercises, student effort totals 5 ECTS. If NYT-PAPER is added, NYT can be taken as a Praktikum (lab course). Students then have to perform research and write a semester paper; effort totals 10 ECTS.
There should be a StudOn class section with additional materials; please make sure you sign-up. If the materials aren't there yet, they'll be coming soon.
