Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this course you will be supported in the planning and implementation of your master’s thesis. The main part of the colloquium is the discussion of the individual research projects. The participants of the colloquium submit a detailed research design, which is presented and discussed in the colloquium. On the basis of these documents and a short presentation of the contents, the stringency of the argumentation, coverage of the research field, methodological approach and fit to the overall concept of the work are discussed. All participants write a peer review for another work.
