The course will help students prepare for the Master project, identify knowledge gaps, formulate working hypothesis, prepare a solid plan for the project and get feedback, get familiar with important concepts of research data management, good scientific practice, ethical conduct of research; develop skills of the experimental design, digital imaging and basic skills for data presentation. Students will develop a proposal for the Master project and get feedback.
