The goal of this course is to provide support for students who write their master thesis or are at least in the process of defining the topic of their master thesis. We aim for both, peer support and learning from each other. Furthermore, this course is intended to serve as a community building among master students and lecturers in business informatics.
In addition to a planning meeting, this course will comprise three units. In the first unit, lectures will be given on research methods in the area oft management / business administration, economics, and (business) informatics. In the second and in the third unit, students will give presentations on their master thesis proposal or their final master thesis. During the planning meeting students have to indicate on which date they plan to present what.
Students who give a presentation on a master thesis proposal, have to submit this proposal via the ConfDriver system at a fixed deadline (which usually is about 2 weeks prior to the presentation). A few days after the submission deadline, each of these students will be assigned to review two proposals of other students. The review has again to be submitted via the ConfDriver system at a fixed deadline (which usually is about 2 days prior to the presentation). Furthermore, each student has to upload his/her presentation slides on the master thesis proposal via TUWEL.
Students who give a presentation on the final master thesis only have to submit the presentation slides via TUWEL.
Only those students who present their final master thesis will receive a final grading and, thus, a certificate. Students who are not able to complete all parts of the seminar may continue in the following term.
Students are expected to be in the progress of writing their master thesis or are, at least, in the phase of searching and fixing their master thesis topic.
