Type of course
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students:
know and understand the main developments and trends of their scientific or artistic disciplines (P8S_WG_2),
are ready to fulfil the social obligations of researchers and artists (P8S_KO_1),
are ready to initiate activities for the sake of the public interest (P8S_KO_2),
are ready to support and develop the ethos of scientists and artists by, among others, conducting independent scientific research, and respecting intellectual property rights as well as the principle of the public ownership of the results of scientific activity, (P8S_KR_1).
Assessment criteria
To pass the course on “Research ethics”, the student must complete two workshops and get a passing grade for the lecture.
Workshops are passed (or failed) on the basis of the student's activity (participation in group work, class discussion, etc). Failure to pass one or both of the workshops makes it impossible to take the final test, and, as a result, to get a credit for the course “Research ethics”
The lecture’s grade is based on the results of a final test. The test covers the material from the lecture and mandatory readings. Only students who (a) attended the lecture and (b) passed two workshops on research ethics, are entitled to take the final test. In exceptional situations, the lecturer may allow a student, who was absent from the lecture (or part of it), to take the final test, provided the student had satisfactorily completed additional tasks assigned by the lecturer (e.g. discussion on the additional readings; additional essay on research ethics) .
