In the course on research, the main aim is to familiarize students with the special features, rules and principles of academic and research work. Students are prepared to write seminar papers independently and at an academic level. This preparation includes a focus on dealing with literature as well as discussions about the quality of academic research - especially the concepts of intellectual honesty and intersubjective comprehensibility. Supplementary teaching content may include topics such as types of literature, types of use and citation, as well as definitions of terms, theses and hypotheses, and the derivation and limitation of topics.
