Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

YOU NEED TO HAVE FOLLOWED MY "FACHLITERATURSEMINAR" DURING SS 2024 TO ATTEND THIS COURSE.
Aims: Students gain practical experience in scientific research by planning and conducting an empirical study, analyzing the results and writing them up in the form of a Bachelor thesis.
Since the skills to develop the theoretical background were trained during the Fachliteraturseminar last semester, this course will focus on the following topics:
1) Practical planning and preparation of an empirical online study,
2) Data collection,
3) Data analysis and hypothesis testing, and
4) Writing of the scientific report in line with the Bachelor thesis guidelines.

Assessment and permitted materials

In order to ensure good scientific practice, the course instructor may require an oral reflection on the data analysis presented during the oral presentation and/or on the submitted bachelor thesis in an individual meeting with the group / individual, which must be successfully completed.
The software "turnitin" will be used to perform an automated plagiarism check on all submitted bachelor's theses.

Option A: empirical Bachelor thesis
30% of grading will rate your active participation in your group project, in class and on Moodle.
10% of grading will rate the oral group presentation at the end of the semester
30% of grading will rate the quality of the part common to your whole group in your Bachelor thesis.
30% of grading will rate the quality of the part of Bachelor thesis you wrote on your own.
If your group decided there is no group part, the individual part will count as 40% and the coherence of the whole thesis will count as 20%.

Option B: theoretical Bachelor thesis (maximum one student per group allowed)
10% of grading will rate your active participation in class and on Moodle
10% of grading will rate the individual oral presentation at the end of the semester
80% of grading will rate your Bachelor thesis

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

YOU NEED TO HAVE FOLLOWED MY SCIENTIFIC READING COURSE DURING SS 2024 TO ATTEND THIS COURSE.
The final list of participants in this semester's lecture course will be decided during the first lecture in the lecture hall.
You will work in groups of 4-5 students, which have already been formed last semester. You can switch to another group if you find another student willing to swap.
The final version of the bachelor thesis can be handed in either by 15th of February or by 1st of April 2025. Expected length is 35.000-40.000 letters including spaces; title page, abstract, appendix and references list not included. The bachelor thesis will be written in English.
The minimum requirements to be met for a positive overall grade include attendance on site and active participation in the lecture course and in the project as well as the successful completion of all course assignments.

Examination topics

Each group will decide democratically which of the following 2 ways they want to use to write the bachelor thesis:
1) Group writes Methods & Results sections together (group part), and Abstract & Introduction & Discussion sections are written individually. [Recommended by teachers]
2) Each member focuses on a specific sub-question/hypothesis and thus writes a sub-part of each section. [Coordinate well to make the whole thesis coherent! ]

Reading list

Will be communicated during the course
