Inhalt:

This course teaches students how to perform scientific research for their final thesis or a research paper. The goal is to prepare students for a Bachelor or Master research thesis.

The course covers the following topics:

• Science and society

• The research process

• Theory building research

• Theory validation research

• Writing a research thesis/paper

• The scientific community

Students can choose one or both of two components:

• VUE (lecture + exercise), 4 SWS, 5 ECTS. VUE combines lectures with homework and exercises. VUE is run as a 3h block.

• PROJ (small research project), 2 SWS, 5 ECTS. In PROJ, students perform a small research project, either individually or in teams. The available projects will be presented at the beginning of the course. Students perform the research, write a paper, and hold a presentation about their work.

Schedule and sign-up are available at https://oss.cs.fau.de/oss-nyt-course. Please sign up for the course on StudOn (available through previous link) as soon as possible.
