Student information |
The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
There will be plenary sessions with all participants and individual small group meetings with students working on the same project.
The students will conduct an empirical study and write a research report, “Einzelleistung and Prüfungsform”, on that empirical study. The report will be graded. The students will also have to present their study in the seminar (the presentation is not graded). The project seminar runs over two semesters. The presentation and the submission of the written research report will be at the end of the second semester.
