Beurteilungskriterien (*)The seminar covers changing topics, with evaluation criteria that may vary. These criteria can include:

  • Audio and video files (e.g., podcast episodes)
  • Files for reproducing empirical analyses
  • Presentations
Lehrmethoden (*)The seminar has changing topics with possible changing methods. Among these are:

  • Project-Based Learning: Encouraging students to develop their own empirical projects or audio- and videofiles fosters active learning by applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. This promotes higher-order thinking such as analyzing, evaluating, and creating.
  • Collaborative Learning: Working in teams on both data projects and literature reviews enhances understanding and application of concepts through peer interaction, critical discussions, and feedback exchange.
  • Lecture and Meetings: Meetings to discuss health economic concepts and empirical methods for data analysis and audio- or videofile creation, support remembering and applying knowledge.
  • Presentation and Peer Feedback: Presenting research findings in both academic and non-academic settings allows students to evaluate their work, receive constructive feedback, and refine their communication skills.
  • Guided Literature Review and Discussion: Providing resources and guidelines for conducting literature reviews helps students analyze and synthesize information, preparing them to critically engage with research.
