Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Prepare a 20 min engaging talk explaining the research question, the main research variables and how they were measured, and the results. Followed by a Q&A session/discussion of 10 min. Afterwards each participant will be (randomly) assigned a stakeholder position that you will defend in a debate style. Conclude with how each paper contributes to understanding the main topic.
