(*)The MA Thesis Seminar is designed to support students in the initial stages of their Master's Thesis. It provides support and feedback in selecting a topic for the master's thesis, writing and defending the MA Thesis proposal, and it accompanies the transition from planning and designing an MA Thesis project to actually conducting the research and writing the thesis.
Upon successful completion of the MA Thesis Seminar, students will have...
- ... derived and conceptualized their research question and developed a convincing rationale for pursuing it in terms of its practical and theoretical significance,
- ... demonstrated the ability to write a literature review of the literature pertinent to their topic and research question as well as their ability to situate their study and intended contribution within the context of that literature,
- ... made decisions about their conceptual arguments and/or empirical research strategy and justified those decisions,
- ... demonstrated their ability to critically reflect on and discuss research problems and their implementation in MA thesis projects, and
- ... shown great care in dealing with issues of intellectual property of scientific ideas and discoveries, as well as intellectual authorship in the use of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence-based tools.
