Course Information

Course content

The Research Seminar Media and Convergence Management comprises of three parts: analysis and discussion of research papers, presentation of students' master theses and presentation of thesis' progress.

Topics

  • Seminar Part 1: Reading, preparation and presentation of three research papers
  • Seminar Part 2: Master Thesis Presentation in Class
  • Seminar Part 3: Master Thesis Progress Presentation in Class

Teaching objective

In the first part of the seminar, tips and criteria for successful academic writing will be introduced. An additional aim is to analyze and discuss selected examples of pieces of research that have been successfully published in leading journals in the specific field. Students analyze how the research was performed and learn about strengths and weaknesses related to the research as well as about methods employed in the articles. The results of these analyses will be presented in class and discussed. In the second part of the seminar students present and discuss their own master thesis. In part 3 of the Seminar, based on the feedback of the first presentation, students are requested to present their progress since the last meeting.
