Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the three logically linked seminars Graduate Project I, II, II is to systematically guide students in the preparation and writing of their final thesis. In the course of the seminars, students learn the basic principles of creating and structuring a larger professional text, working with sources and citation ethics, as well as implementing and solving their own practical project. Under the supervision of the thesis supervisor, the student gradually acquires the competence to carry out analytical and interpretative activities in the chosen field when dealing with a specific selected problem or a specific crisis situation. Seminars are conducted once a month in the form of a group meeting, where students present their work in progress to each other and provide mutual feedback. An obvious prerequisite of the courses is the independent work of the students during their studies and their individual consultation of the process of preparation, implementation and writing of the thesis. The student continuously reflects on the supervisor's comments and takes them into account both in the next steps and in the revision of the already written parts.
