Abstract

This course is designed to develop basic academic skills and prepare students for starting their own research. The main focus of research seminar will be on refining students’ research skills: searching scholarly information, critical reading and reviewing, discussing empirical evidence, academic writing and presenting the research findings in effective ways. The classes are guided by different professors, each representing particular field of research. Moving gradually from one topic to another, students will be involved in class activities designed to deepen their understanding of theoretical and empirical research. Seminar participants are be expected to take an active role in responding to assigned tasks, working individually and in-group.
