Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students can present in front of an audience a significant body of own, individual scientific work. They can explain the scientific and/or technological background of their thesis and explain the design and choice of methodology used or developed to reach their thesis objective by the scientific method. They can present their work critically and describe its context clearly.
Skills Knowledge
• Students are able to understand a significant body of scientific literature in the form of protocols, articles and books (k2, k3). • Students demonstrate their individual ability to operate advanced scientific instrumentation and apply advanced research methods (k3). • They know how and when to use correct experimental methods and can plan, develop and adapt techniques and protocols for their project (k5, k6). • Students know how to report their results in a scientific and comprehensive manner (k3). • Students can analyze their results critically and evaluate these in the context of a large body of published work (k4, k5). • Students can structure their results and derive conclusions from these and suggest future avenues (k4, k5, k6). • Students can compile and present their work in a form suitable for a target audience (k2, k3, k6). • Access to scientific information - finding, evaluation, critical thinking • Principles of good laboratory practice - work accurately, safely, and diligently • Application of the scientific method and hypothesis testing • Principles of research integrity - proper design and experimentation • Keeping notes of experiments, documentation of processing and analysis • Statistics and modelling (where relevant) • Able to make a scientific presentation • Able to generate figures, schemes, etc. in scientific style (SVG, bitmap) • Able to use tools for scientific presentation (AV tools, pointer, language)
Criteria for evaluation The evaluation occurs jointly with the Master's Thesis. Correct execution of the experimental work, the quality of the presentations of the results of the Master's Thesis and of the presentations in the seminar talks serve as criteria.
Methods Laboratory/theoretical work, presentation of results.
Language English or German
