LV-Beschreibung

Intendierte Lernergebnisse

Students are guided towards a research porposal for their Master's thesis and how to take their first steps as independent researchers, respecting and integrating differences in the specific field they want to work in. Theoretical knowledge about as well as practical skills in thesis writing are acquired, and a reflective stance towards the writing process and individual strategies developed.
