PEERS - Undergraduate Research III

Volledige vakbeschrijving

PEERS is a form of RBL, Research-Based Learning. In RBL, learning is based on research that students do themselves, rather than being dependent on research done before and by others. Small groups of students will conduct research under the guidance of a senior researcher. They will act as a group, but engage in individual work as well. PEERS offers a unique opportunity to develop one’s own research topic. In this way, student researchers will make an actual contribution to ongoing research, and will experience firsthand what is involved in doing research. During the project, specific skills will be addressed at the appropriate time: e.g. problem analysis, writing a proposal, data selection and analysis reporting and presenting.
