Mathematics and Statistics (Vorlesung)

Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | 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.

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.

Reflecting Interdisciplinarity (Vorlesung)

Dozent/in: Henrik Wehrden

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.

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“

Inhalt: This tutorial should be used as a fixed framework for independent work on the Bachelor's thesis, to ask questions and receive 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 tutorial will be accompanied by the following Sustainability-Methods-Wiki article: https://sustainabilitymethods.org/index.php/How_to_write_a_thesis

Research Forum Sustainability Science (Kolloquium)

Dozent/in: Henrik Wehrden

Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 10:00 - 12:00 | 16.04.2025 - 09.07.2025 | C 1.209 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Goals of the forum A PhD thesis is a long journey that is demanding on many different levels: the topical focus, the theoretical foundations, and the methodological approaches build the core of every PhD thesis, and are enhanced by the development of the equally important soft skills. This forum offers an interdisciplinary space for exchange with other candidates from the School of Sustainability about your PhD thesis, to workshop and test ideas outside of the box, and to present important milestones of your journey. We’ll jointly set the agenda and facilitate each session according to the groups needs and interests: may it be literature research, methodological questions, or how to keep your motivation level up. Our aim is to take an emergent perspective on the challenges that PhDs are facing, to use the synergies within the forum to come up with solutions, and to make the PhD journey a collective endeavour.
