Group Research Project
Full course description
1 Seminar (3 academic hours / week). This seminar will enable the students to experience all steps of the research process—from developing interesting research questions, over hypothesizing, preregistering predictions, applying research methods and designs, implementing and conducting the research project, collecting data, analyzing the data, evaluating the results, writing a scientific paper, and presenting the findings. The student research groups will go through all of these stages under supervision and with the guidance of the professor. By applying their theoretical knowledge and methodological skill sets to their own empirical research project, each group will improve and extend their overall research skills.
Full-time Teachers: Prof. Dr. David Loschelder
