Assessment and permitted materials
Workload
Despite the strategic direction of this course being clear and established, the details will be highly path dependent. We will first brainstorm the whole project and determine the best way to proceed. This will include questions like what software to use, whether and how to train that software, how to test it, and how to make it available to the end users. Students will be required to actively participate in all sessions of the course, take on individual assignments, and work in teams focused on single tasks.

The purpose of this course is to develop an AI supported tool to help EcoS students with the writing of their term papers and master’s theses (henceforth: thesis/theses). The focus will be on the theoretical part of such theses according to the standard EcoS structure. The single components are: (1) finding a good topic and research question; (2) demonstrating the relevance of the research question; (3) creating an appropriate structure for the literature review; (4) writing the literature review; (5) turning the learnings into a high-quality analytical framework.
The final goal of this course is the development of a simple-to-use, AI-based tool for students to get feedback on their submissions for each of these five components.
