Learning objectives
The purpose of the course is to acquaint students with scientific research method and scientific writing. Besides contact teaching, the course involves plenty of independent work. Every student will plan and carry out an independent IT-related research project: choose a topic, plan a timetable, apply the chosen research method, and present the results in a written academic report and an oral presentation. In the course of the Writing Business Report, oral presentation skills and the genre of academic writing will be briefly recapitulated. Students are also required to peer-review each other’s assignments. Students are to revise their written documents during the course, if necessary, after the lecturers in charge of the course and a peer student have reviewed them with comments.
