Course Objectives The aim of this course is to guide students in conducting/reviewing an academic study. The students are expected to propose research topics after reviewing the literature on a topic of their interest. The advisor will guide the student through each stage of the research in biweekly meetings.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to conduct independent research on a topic of choice.
  • will be able to apply skills related to critical reading, understanding, synthesizing and contrasting and comparing
  • will be able to conduct a study in social sciences demonstrating awareness of epistemological, methodological and ethical principles.
  • will be able to explain the research background and main research questions.
  • will be able to construct a coherent and cogent dissertation to report the findings of the investigation.
Course Description Supervisors and students together will evaluate previous research on the basis of rules of academic writing and discuss how to apply skills related to critical reading, understanding, synthesizing and contrasting and comparing. Students will work together with an assigned instructor on a selected area in their discipline. Students are also required to write a paper/report in this seminar.
