Content

The students will analyze a complex topic with scientific methods and present, discuss and document their work results in a scientific manner. Through their self-reliant work on an extensive research project, the students will create a connection between theory and practice and acquire additional social competences through group work.

Learning Goals

  • Practicing of methods, especially in data collection and evaluation, to achieve the required methodological quality or creation of software prototypes (under close supervision of the scientific staff)
  • Independent theoretical and empirical work, preferably in small groups (under close supervision, instruction and inspection of the scientific staff)
  • Regular discussion of the intermediate steps with the supervising scientific staff
  • Instruction and supervision by the scientific staff in literary study, in the formulation of hypotheses on causal relationships, in data collection and in reviewing hypotheses by multivariate analysis.
