Course objectives
This is a follow-up of the course Introduction to Project Management and Writing. Students analyse and interpret research findings they obtained during their internship abroad and practice, consult relevant international sources and literature and write academic texts as a draft of their final paper. A standard scope of the final paper ranges from 72,000 to 90,000 characters. The academic text consists of theory and literature review and students' project work. The theory and literature review clearly demonstrates students' ability to work critically with academic texts and data obtained by means of studying, analysing, and interpreting international primary and secondary sources in English or other world languages. The project presented in the text has clearly defined objectives, research design, research methods, target groups, and findings obtained by means of ethnographic research during students' internship abroad.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to use relevant research methods and quote from and refer to the sources according to appropriate styles.
