Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The primary objective of this course is to review basic components of social science research design and guide the writing of an academic research paper (essay, term paper, Master thesis). Designed to reflect EcoS’ integrated teaching and learning concept, this exercise course (“Übung”) complements the seminar Political Systems in East Asia (SE 150138). EcoS students enrolling in this course must also be enrolled in the seminar.

Students will have to complete three major tasks in this course. They are:

1. review key elements of a social science academic research paper;
2. review qualitative research methods; and
3. complete guided writing assignments for specific components of an academic research paper

Assessment and permitted materials

Grading is based on a “continuous assessment of coursework” (“Prüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltung”). There are five graded components of this course (% of final grade):

Attendance and participation (15%)
Assignment 1: Topic/title and research question. (15%)
Assignment 2: Relevance of your RQ and abstract. (15%)
Assignment 3: Structure of the literature review. (15%)
Assignment 4: Literature review & analytical framework. (40%)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Classes will focus on preparing and reviewing the assignments submitted by students to assist them with the development of the term paper. Students will also be expected to review examples of research design and participate in discussing them in class.
