Examination topics
Each group will decide democratically its own way of writing the bachelor thesis. Here are a few propositions but other ways are welcome:
(a) Group writes Method & Results & Appendix) sections together (group part) and Introduction & Discussion sections are written individually. [Recommended by me]
(b) Each member write a different section of the thesis. So, no group part. [Coordinate well to make the whole thesis coherent! ]
(c) Each member focuses on a specific sub-question/hypothesis and thus write a sub-part of each section. [Coordinate well to make the whole thesis coherent! ]You have to decide and notify me by the end of the second class (12.04.2018) which proposition you chose.

This course provides guidance how to conduct a research project from which a scientific report will be written, that is, the bachelor thesis.
Specifically, since the skills to develop the theoretical background were trained during Scientific Reading, this course will focus on
(1) the practical preparation and planning of the experiment,
(2) the training of experimenter practice and data collection,
(3) the data analysis and hypotheses testing,
and (4) the writing of the scientific report in line with the Bachelor thesis guidelines.
