Modul

The module examination consists of three seminars. A detailed description of every singled assessment is given in the specific course characterization.
The final mark for the module is the average of the marks for each of the three seminars, weighted by the credits and truncated after the first decimal.

• The students are in a position to independently handle current, research-based tasks according to scientific criteria.
• They are able to research, analyze, abstract and critically review the information.
• They can draw own conclusions using their interdisciplinary knowledge from the less structured information and selectively develop current research results.
• They can logically and systematically present the obtained results both orally and in written form in accordance with scientific guidelines (structuring, technical terminology, referencing).
• They can argue and defend the results professionally in the discussion.
• Students are familiar with the DFG´s Code of Conduct "Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice" and base their scientific work on it.

The course specific preconditions must be observed. Three seminars out of the course list, that have at least 3 CP each and are offered by a representative of the Department of Economics and Management or of the Center for applied legal studies
(Department of Informatics), have to be chosen. 

Competences which are gained in the seminar module especially prepare the student for composing the final thesis. Within the term paper and the presentation, the student exercises himself in scientific working techniques supported by the supervisor.
Beside advancing skills in techniques of scientific working, there are gained integrative key qualifications as well.

The total workload for this module is approximately 270 hours.
