Inhalt: In this core course of the Studium Individuale, students will work in teams to execute a collaborative research project addressing a question of social significance during the semester. The instructor will assist students, working in teams, to select a suitable topic and in the organization of the research process, but overall the process is led and carried out by the students. The teams will work closely with the instructor and/or other experienced researchers, who will help guide and support the research. The course learning objectives (below) involve both the process of research and the collaborative experience of working in a group to plan and produce a collective output. The goal of the project is to serve the participants’ different academic interests and yet bring together their varying knowledge and skills in a complementary and productive way. While the module does not train students in any particular methods, the instructor or other experienced researchers will advise students on the appropriate and rigorous application of their chosen methods. Research is here understood as the process of responding to a problem of wider relevance by contributing original knowledge to the world. By gaining practical group research experience, students develop many skills – from time management and problem solving, to productive teamwork and the ability to present and justify achievements to a wider audience. With the research project, students take an important step towards making their study experience within the framework of the Studium Individuale more broadly relevant outside the curricular context.
