Introduction to Scientific work (Content of the lecture Scientific Work in the fourth semester)
The students choose a specific topic from a list of subjects of the lecturers, implement an interesting part of it, evaluate the results achieved and write their bachelor thesis on them. Topics arise primarily as a deepening of the content in the electives in the 5th semester, as well as independently of this from research projects of the lecturers or inquiries from companies. Corresponding lists of topics will be published from the beginning of the semester.
By writing a bachelors thesis the students should prove their ability (a) to work for them self on a scientific basis on a specific topic of their subject, (b) to compile a report according to scientific standards and (c) to correctly cite knowledge from the literature.
Depending on the subject of the thesis, the students learn this through an empirical study, a literature study, a planning or design task or a practical project.
Independent creation of the bachelor thesis with individual supervision. A seminar is held to accompany the work. In this seminar help is given for writing. The students present their work progress to each other.
Assessment of the bachelors thesis according to a criteria sheet.
There is a written guide available for the students on the requirements and procedures regarding the bachelors thesis.
If necessary, the writing center (in German: Schreibzentrum) of the Fachhochschule offers assistance for self-help in composing written assignments.
