6. 725906 SE Academic Work and Scientific Writing
Sven Arne Philipp Schiller, BSc, MSc, PhD.
Typ/Stunden: SE2
ECTS-AP: 2,5
Mode of repetition: every 2nd year
Language of instruction: English
Learning Outcome:
Students are able to find, read and understand scientific literature in a time-efficient manner. Based on this and their own investigations, students are able to independently author scientific texts and thus communicate the ideas behind their research.
Contents:
The seminar is focused on the various components involved in the process of drafting a scientific manuscript, such as the search for relevant literature as well as the reading, understanding and evaluation of scientific publications. The acquired knowledge and skills will be reinforced and practiced by students during the seminar in short exercises. As a conclusion to the seminar, students will draft a short seminar paper demonstrating what they have learned.
Methods:
PowerPoint presentation, discussion, exercises, short presentations (students), seminar paper
Assessment:
Participation in the seminar, seminar paper
