Course detail

Diploma Seminar (M-IMB)

FSI-RD8Acad. year: 2014/2015

This course should help students to elaborate and to present their diploma projects at a high professional level. They are introduced to the methodology and technology of scientific research, to the realization of literature retrievals, to the content-bearing and formal requirements of a diploma project. Principal ethical features of scientific work and of oral and written presentations are overviewed. Students are warned of substantial content-bearing mistakes, which frequently occur in diploma projects. The way of presenting a diploma project is shown. The title and content of everybody's own diploma project are consulted with each of the students.
