Learning outcomes
The aim of the Proseminar is to provide students with their first introduction to independent work in the field of Art Studies. The course develops the basic practical skills necessary for independent scholarly work. Students will become familiar with methods of scholarly research, working with primary sources and literature, the principles of academic writing and citation, and the use of information resources. The aim of the course is to teach students to independently search for, critically evaluate and process scholarly sources and to present the results of their own work in both written and oral form.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to independently search for, evaluate, and process scholarly sources and literature, conduct basic bibliographic research, cite scholarly sources correctly, and navigate key information resources and the academic publishing process.
