Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
First, every participant will have to give two online talks (oral presentations based on his/her presentation slides). The first talk focuses on his/her research questions and research methods, whereas the second talk presents the results of the bachelor’s thesis.Second, every student needs to participate actively in the seminar (by asking questions, answering questions, making comments).Third, every participant will have to write a bachelor’s thesis in a group of two participants.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The grade of a participant depends on his/her two presentations (max. 25 % of the achievable scores), his/her active online participation (max. 25 % of the achievable scores), and his/her bachelor’s thesis (max. 50 % of the achievable scores).The presentation slides to be created should summarise the essentials correctly and clearly in terms of content. They are the basis for the oral presentations. Every set of slides must contain, among other things, a comprehensive bibliography based on the literature search carried out in libraries and on the internet. The oral presentations should be given in an easily understandable, appealing and sensibly structured manner.Permanent attendance is a necessary condition for passing, but it is not sufficient. Through active participation in the form of questions, answers to questions and comments, students should take part in the discussion in the seminar. A one-time excused absence is possible. If a participant is absent for a longer period, the seminar cannot be completed successfully.The most important part is to write the bachelor’s theses in groups of two participants. Students select their subjects from a list given by the tutor.================================
