- be aware of recent developments in the field
- understand some of the challenges and controversies in the field
- be able to read, understand and critically evaluate a journal article
- be able to discuss a journal article or data set and draw conclusions from it
- be able to apply the knowledge and skills learnt to their master theses and in other situations

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Assessment
- attendance at 9 or more seminars is required for a grade to be given.
- 10% of the course grade will be based on participation during the course.
- 45% of the course grade will be based on exercises given during the course period (4 exercises will be given and the best 3 grades will be counted).
- 45% of the course grade will be based on a final assessment to be done in students’ own time and submitted after the course ends (date still to be finalized).
- grades will be given as: 0 – 49% (5), 50 – 59% (4), 60 - 69% (3), 70 – 79% (2), 80 – 100% (1).
