The seminar is a three-day block seminar at the end of the semester (8.-10.2.2023, 9 am to 4 pm).
The seminar is aimed at students who are either in a higher Master's degree year (about to write their Master's thesis) or doctoral students.
The seminar is not suitable for Bachelor's students or Master's students at the beginning of their Master's studies, as it already presupposes extensive methodological knowledge.
Either 5 or 10 ECTS points can be achieved in the course.
For 5 points, all exercises must be worked on during the seminar and handed in after the seminar.
For 10 points, the written elaboration of a research project (max. 12 pages) is necessary, for which the student already brings a topic, a question and an associated data set as a prerequisite.
