Kommentare/ Inhalte: This research colloquium focuses on the practical side of research by taking a closer look at the different phases of research. Researchers define their research questions, think about methods and plan how to conduct the research. These three phases are the main focus of the course. We will discuss the master thesis projects by the participants, in particular referring to different approaches to research subjects, different methods available and their advantages and disadvantages, practical problems, and how they can be solved. This colloquium aims at helping students plan their own master’s theses.
