none, but the successful completed previous courses are recommended
Inhalt:
Students prepare a one-semester research project to be performed in Earth Systems Research Lab II (summer term), either as part of current projects in the Section Palaeobiology, or pursuing their own research questions developed with lecturers. Students become first integrated into the research environment by attending the Palaeobiology seminar, and in coordination with lecturers decide upon their project area. They perform a literature survey to identify the specific research question they will address and to find available methods. With the help of the lecturers, they identify relevant material (collections, database, field area) to be studied in their individual projects and assess the feasibility given the time available. They receive instructions on appropriate forms and constructions used in scientific texts. They write a small research proposal (the format of a small DFG application) motivating their study, outlining the study design and feasibility. Teachers provide feedback on both scientific and linguistic aspects of the proposals.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
The students are able to:
identify and find scientific literature relevant to a given problem
read the literature critically, identifying gaps in current knowledge
develop a research topic addressing one of such gaps
can chose appropriate project design and methodology and evaluate the feasibility of the project
understand scientific English terms (spoken and written)
write an professional text in English, using appropriate terms and constructions
Literatur:
To be identified by the student, based on suggestions from lecturers or own initiative.
Bemerkung:
Students majoring in Palaeobiology-Palaeoenvironments
