The compulsory module "Wissenschaftliches und Praktisches Arbeiten" conveys the basics of data research and the writing of scientific papers to the students. The acquired skills serve as basis for the participation in the module "Bachelor Seminar". The allocation of students to our chair is made by the dean's office. The processing of topics offered is done in two-person teams.

Process

The topics of the WPA seminar are set by the chair. The students who are assigned to our chair can enroll in OPAL for a topic. By choosing the theme the teambuilding is done at the same time, i. e. the participants who sign up for a topic work together in a two-person team on the chosen theme!

For the implementation of the WPA seminar in the current winter term the following general schedule has been determined:

The preliminary discussion includes general information about the seminar schedule.

If we do not release other information the seminar thesis has to be submitted in digital form (submission via OPAL) until 4:00 pm. The volume of the seminar thesis is 6,000 words including tables in the text part (without indices and appendix).
