Reflecting on Research Methods (Vorlesung)

Inhalt: The module "Reflecting Research Methods" deals with the engagement with unrelated, unknown scientific methods. Together with students of different major, these methods are applied and reflected on with regard to ethical research questions and cross-disciplinary contexts of use. In addition, the possibilities and limits of familiar methods and specialist cultures will be reflected upon in a more foreign way, and specific methods will be used to create differences and connections. This also includes the examination of different concepts of interdisciplinary research. Since it is a matter of getting involved with methods from other disciplines, the module offers special events that encourage a change of perspective. This can be done, for example, by reflecting on methods on the basis of example fields that allow links to one's own degree programmes, but pursue a methodological perspective that is not already regularly offered in these degree programmes.

Bachelor Thesis (Vorlesung)

Dozent/in: Henrik Wehrden

Inhalt: This module supports you in the process of writing your bachelor thesis. While the lecture builds on a flipped classroom concept, it will be widely framed around the questions of the audience regarding the specific slots. The lecture thus helps you to find a topic, supervisors, and how to communicate with them. You will get input on time management, how to tame a topic, define research questions of hypotheses, research literature, and write a glossary. An additional emphasis will be set un creating methodological designs, pitfalls of research, and establishing a routine. We also give you help on how to overcome writer's block, norms and standards of science, and how to submit and defend your thesis. All individual steps will also be discussed more hands on in the tutorials.

Inhalt: Introduction to statistics

What makes a good scientist? (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Henrik Wehrden

Inhalt: The content of this course is twofold. First, it serves as a canvas to paint a picture of the landscape that scientists operate in. Second, the course aims to frame the responsibility we all have as scientists as scientists as something concrete that is an everyday practice. Instead of being detached and unconnected science today is very much part of society, and constantly interacting within society.

Tutorial Module Bachelor Thesis - in English (Tutorium)

Dozent/in: Henrik Wehrden

Termin:
14-täglich | Montag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 22.04.2024 - 05.07.2024 | C 12.102 Seminarraum

Inhalt: In addition to the lectures, this tutorial gives you the opportunity to discuss the respective (self-determined) topics in groups, to ask questions, and to present your planned work to each other in order to receive feedback and concrete help from your peers and the tutor. Experience has shown that this makes it easier to get started and stay on track so that you can get through the Bachelor's thesis process as successfully as possible. The tutorial is designed in such a way that you can benefit from it no matter which phase of the thesis (planning) you are currently in. The module is accompanied by a cross-semester Moodle course: https://moodle.leuphana.de/course/view.php?id=246 called "Bachelor Thesis Fak N"

Tutorial Module Bachelor Thesis - auf Deutsch (Tutorium)

Dozent/in: Henrik Wehrden

Termin:
14-täglich | Dienstag | 14:00 - 15:30 | 23.04.2024 - 05.07.2024 | C 12.102 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Ergänzend zu den Vorlesungen, gibt dieses Tutorium die Möglichkeit, die jeweiligen (selbstgewählten) Themen in Gruppen zu diskutieren, Fragen zu stellen und die geplante Arbeit gegenseitig zu präsentieren, um Feedback und konkrete Hilfestellung von Ihren Kommilitonen und dem Tutor zu erhalten. Die Erfahrung hat gezeigt, dass dies den Einstieg und das Durchhalten erleichtert, um die Bachelorarbeit möglichst erfolgreich durchlaufen können. Das Tutorium ist so konzipiert, dass Sie davon profitieren können, unabhängig davon, in welcher Phase der Arbeit (Planung) Sie sich gerade befinden. Das Modul wird von einem semesterübergreifenden Moodle-Kurs begleitet: https://moodle.leuphana.de/course/view.php?id=246 namens „Bachelor Thesis Fak N“

Mathematics and Statistics (Vorlesung)

Dozent/in: Henrik Wehrden

Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 02.04.2024 - 05.07.2024 | C HS 3

Inhalt: The lecture is a the main basis of gaining an understanding of quantitative analyses in environmental and sustainability science as part of the module. The lecture is structured into five parts. 1) A basic introduction, including a recap of descriptive statistics, and a quick overview on data formats, data distribution and simple tests. 2) Correlations and linear models as a pivotal part of the analyses of continuous data. 3) Analyses of variance, allowing designing simple experiments and for comparing variance among different groups. 4) A quick overview of different types of experiments, and a short discussion of the normative dimensions of statistics. 5) A glimpse on Advanced statistics, including ethics and a look at future statistics. The lecture is the main basis of information -building on a flipped classroom format between videos and a central WIKI-, and the associated tutorials are intended to deepen the understanding on the different topics and provide applied skills and knowledge. The Wiki serves as a theoretical basis, the videos provide focussed explanations, which can be considered a basis for further research projects and your thesis, should you choose to work with quantitative methods. The tutorials repeat the respective content and provide a learning experience in R. Attending the lecture will be your best basis for gaining knowledge, and will increase your chances on passing the exam with a decent grade.

Forschungsmethoden in der Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaft (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Henrik Wehrden

Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 02.04.2024 - 05.07.2024 | C 14.001 Seminarraum

Inhalt: PSYCHOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY STUDENTS, PLEASE CHOOSE THIS SEMINAR! Within the seminar students will learn how to use a wide array of research methods that are applied in sustainability science. The course will also teach the students to obtain information on how to learn more about methods, and how to learn new methods and apply these in their work. The course is designed to enable students to develop methodological designs with a mixed methods approach. Building on a broad and diverse conceptual basis the students will work in smaller groups, thereby learning the collaborative skills necessary to utilise the diverse knowledge of the participants.
