Aims, contents and method of the course
Upon completion of this module, students have the competence to write a concept for their master's thesis with a research question, research status, and theory/method according to accepted practice in the subject and to continuously self-critically review and, if necessary, modify this concept. They can present parts of their work in conference-appropriate lecture form and lead discussions. In addition, they have developed the ability to productively accept critical feedback on their contributions and, for their part, to make constructive comments and suggestions regarding the performance of others in the form of peer evaluation.
