Contents:

The course coaches students on their way to a successful master’s thesis. To this end, we discuss (based on academic studies) research basics such as literature search and literature analysis as well as qualitative and quantitative methods. Further, participants receive individual feedback on their master’s thesis projects. Students can use the course contents and the feedback to improve their thesis proposals and, in turn, their master’s thesis.
Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of the course, students:

  • are familiar with the fundamentals of academic research.
  • are familiar with the fundamentals of research methods, in particular different qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
  • are prepared for conducting and reporting their master’s thesis.
  • have obtained social and professional skills by presenting their master’s thesis projects and leading a related Q&A.
Attendance requirements:

The course is a workshop-type course (Arbeitsgemeinschaft). Therefore, attendance is mandatory. The course will be offered in hybrid mode. The individual coaching sessions will take place via MS Teams, whereas the other sessions will be held on campus.
Teaching/learning method(s):

The course's didactic approach rests on three pillars:

  1. Evidence-based teaching: the course follows an evidence-based teaching approach, which means teaching grounds on state-of-the-art research and contextual evidence. Linking research and teaching ensures that students learn concepts and methods that are relevant and effective based on the latest research knowledge.
  2. Interactive: The course combines teacher-centered and interactive ("flip-the-classroom") elements (e.g., presentations, discussions, feedback sessions) to facilitate effective and active learning among students.
  3. Relevance: The course contents and assignments are closely linked to the demands of a WU master's thesis. Presentation of the master's thesis projects and reflection on the feedback foster students' social and professional skills.
Assessment:

The course is a workshop-type course (Arbeitsgemeinschaft). Therefore, the grading will be pass ("mit Erfolg teilgenommen") / fail ("ohne Erfolg teilgenommen"). The assessment criteria are:

  1. Attendance
  2. Active participation in class
Prerequisites:
  • Enrollment in the ExInt program
  • Supervision agreement (Betreuungszusage) for a master’s thesis in ExInt
  • Course registration
