The course introduces students to research methods, provides an overview of electronic resources, explains how to search for information based on specific requirements, and covers the compilation of the resulting list of information. Emphasis is also placed on citation ethics and citation standards. The course guides students through the following areas: - selecting and choosing a thesis topic, understanding the topic, - identifying the problem, formulating the objective(s), - finding solution methods and the ability to apply them, - working with academic literature and specialised information sources, - ensuring a high standard of form and style in the thesis, - processing, evaluating, and interpreting results.
