Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Writing a thesis is the challenge to think the topic in scientific terms, to envelope it in theoretical concepts, to argue the relevance of the topic by contextualisation of both, theory and practice, to design a methodology of research. All this needs to understand and to handle the epistemological context of research.
Assessment and permitted materials
Regular presence, involvement, teamwork attitude, presentation, final paper.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The seminar aims to get to know the range and to sound depth of the epistemological quality as well as the meta-theoretical rationale (philosophy) of currently used theoretical concepts explaining the contextualization of communication, media, society, and culture.
