Bachelor of Arts Seminar - Italian 3200-L3-SLW
The aim of the seminar is to familiarize students with the research methodology appropriate for the selected area of scientific interest. Students become familiar with theoretical works that form the basis of methods and approaches to data analysis. An active attitude of students is necessary, they should work systematically and independently outside classes, searching for scientific texts, reading them and conducting a synthetic review of them in the bachelor's thesis. The emphasis is on ensuring that course participants apply in practice their knowledge of learned theories, methods of conducting research and the principles of writing a scientific paper. Students also conduct their own research, which is the basis for preparing the analytical part of the thesis.
Student workload:
- classes (contact hours): 30h
- preparation for classes: 30 hours
- own work (conducting research and preparing a bachelor's thesis): 300h
