Topic

The course is recommended for students who are on to writing thesis, scientific presentations or articles. At seminars we follow the steps of a hypothetical research from literature dwelling, to evaluating data and publishing results. We will focus mainly on accessible academic software, what can help and speed up the process.
Every week, a new topic will be discussed. A small home assignment will have to prepare every week. The final grade will be based on these assignments.
It is a one credit subject we will have classes of 90 minutes at the first six weeks of the semester.
