BA Seminar - Spanish 3200-L3-SLH
During the seminar, students prepare their bachelor's theses under the supervision of their supervisor. Emphasis is placed on the participants applying the knowledge acquired during the proseminar in practice, concerning the theories learned, how to conduct research and the principles of writing a scientific paper. The classes are devoted to discussing the progress of the work and are mostly individual consultations. An active attitude on the part of students is essential. They should work systematically and independently outside of class, searching for academic texts, reading them and summarising them in their bachelor's thesis. Students also conduct their own research, which forms the basis for the analytical part of their thesis. They also edit and proofread their thesis and adapt it to the applicable requirements.
Estimated time commitment for students:
10 hours - work in the classroom;
20 hours - preparation for presenting the progress of individual work;
270 hours - independent work: conducting research and preparing the bachelor's thesis
300 hours in total = 12 ECTS
