Offer 1 with catalog number 4023829FNR for all students in the 1st and 2nd semester at a (F) Master - specialised level.
With respect to learning result (a), what we do is guide the students in a systematic way through the FWO application forms. There is an assignment for every class (see timetable for details).
In this way, each student gradually arrives at a full proposal, which is again discussed in class.
Note that:
- You have two write a project, but you don’t have to submit it (e.g. if you want to wait a year).
- FWO deadline. We will be ready by half of December. Ideally, students spend the 6 weeks in between fine-tuning the project with their supervisor(s).
- It is allowed to change your mind about the aims of the project.
With respect to learning results (b):
- There will be a class on research integrity (see timetable)
- We discuss the gradually developing proposals during our meetings; we expect constructive feedback (= teamwork).
