Student projects

As mentioned on the overview page, the core of this class are research projects that will be conducted under guidance (potentially in groups), the research experiments, by each participant. This is explained in a bit more detail below and generated materials for each (e.g. pre-registration, DMP, etc.) will be added throughout the semester.

Research project

Building upon the work of the Introduction block, the aim of the research project is to allow you to conduct research work more independently. While everyone will use the same basic experimental setup, each group/participant will form their own sub-projects and respective hypotheses. In general the steps will the same as discussed in the Introduction block: setting up a project, finding literature, defining hypotheses, do a pre-registering, write a data management plan, set up the experiment, acquire data, analyze data and write a report based on the outcomes. In addition, the research project will also entail the presentation of relevant literature and a poster presentation.
