IMPORTANT:
Given the current Covid-19 situation, but also our goal to maintain a high quality and interactive class, the class should be held in-person (all sessions that have a "Hörsaal" listed), with some sessions held via Zoom (all sessions denoted "Digital"). In this spirit, your physical presence at the faculty is absolutely mandatory for all ("offline") sessions held in-person. To enter the university building, however, you will need to respect the 3G-rule (vaccinated, tested, or recovered) which will always be checked upon entering the faculty.
Respecting the current Covid-19 situation, however, please be flexible within this hybrid (combined) format of a class and be prepared for changes in the format, if necessary. We might be forced to shift some of the offline sessions to an online format - should that be the case, you are required to enter our Zoom sessions using your audio and video input.
The exact format of individual sessions and any changes to the current format of this class will always be announced in due time and will depend on the pandemic situation and the then-current governmental restrictions.

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course is an introductory class on empirical methods and data analysis which precedes the follow-up class “Empirical Methods II”. The goal of this introductory course is for students to learn the fundamental techniques and obtain the basic skills required in empirical research. Our theoretical sessions will cover tools and stages required for running empirical projects (e.g. research design, measurement types, methods of data collection, basic descriptive statistics) with a special focus on the pre-evaluation stage of an empirical work. Our applied sessions will introduce the students to basic STATA skills, allowing them to prepare their data for analysis using statistical programming software. Students will participate by reading and presenting scientific articles in some of the highest ranked strategy journals. Knowledge gained in this course is also applied during a project where students actively develop the necessary steps for conducting their own empirical research projects. In this spirit, students are required to obtain real-world data for their basic descriptives in Empirical Methods I and the subsequent proposition testing in Empirical Methods II.This course is highly interactive and built around the idea of a laboratory setup as is typical for social sciences. The setup necessitates certain software and IT equipment. To provide every student the same opportunity to successfully participate in the course, it is usually held in one of the PC-labs at the OMP 1. Given the current Covid-19 situation, but also our goal to maintain a high quality and interactive class, this semester, the class might be held in-person or via Zoom (or combined). In this spirit, students are required to ensure stable Internet connection and be able to join using their web cameras as well! Hence, not only an audio connection, also a video connection is required! In all sessions held in-person, students are required to attend, respecting the 3G-rule (vaccinated, tested, or recovered). The exact format of individual sessions will be announced in due time! For now, please refer to the information indicated above the class-schedule.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Please be aware that attendance during the first session of this course is absolutely mandatory. If students miss the first session without contacting the lecturer in writing (at the very latest until 24 hours before the first session), giving a relevant reason/proof (e.g. illness=doctor's certificate, exam=confirmation by the examiner) for their absence, they will be deregistered from the course and their place will automatically be awarded to the next in line on the waiting list. After that, students are allowed to miss 10% of the classes without any consequences (2.25 hours). Exceeding this threshold would result in failing the class. This restriction holds regardless the online/offline format of individual sessions. In order to pass the course, at least 50% of the total 100% are required. Please note that TURNITIN will be used in order to test all written coursework (e.g. the final project) for possible plagiarism.

Given the current Covid-19 situation, but also our goal to maintain a high quality and interactive class, the class is held via Zoom with a final exam-session that is held in person (i.e., your attendance is required at the university to participate in the final exam). Should there be any changes due to then-current pandemic restrictions, the exact format of individual sessions will be announced in due time.
