The basic goal of this seminar is to support students in writing an excellent MA-thesis by promoting the formations of good research plans and providing early feedback on Master-thesis proposals. As planning and conducting scientific research - often under high time pressure - and writing corresponding reports and articles is a very complex task, this course offers a continuous forum where related problems in the first phase of the thesis (finding a topic, writing a proposal, time management when planning a thesis) can be discussed. The course is structured for extensive student involvement (e.g., presentation of research proposals, discussion of results or methodological problems). Basic material (e.g., regarding APA-style for tables, figures, references, how to formulate hypotheses; how to organize a master thesis that is written in cooperation with a company;) is presented and discussed.
After the introduction class (15.10.; 2-4 pm) we will have 2 days of presentations and exercises (12.11.21 and 28.1.22). Please sign in for these meetings!
The objectives to be achieved in our course are:
- Promote ideas for excellent MA-thesis.
- Understanding and practicing the guidelines for preparing a MA-thesis proposal.
- Develop an understanding of how a MA-thesis should be structured and written.
- Getting constructive feedback on your MA-thesis project. Therefore, every person presenting a proposal/poster should be present in class presentations the whole day!
- Acquiring competence and first knowledge regarding publishing a MA-thesis.
