Concept
The course is aimed at mastering basic professional skills by social and political science students. The course focuses on the logic and development of an empirical research program, the organization of research process, and the preparation and presentation of scientific texts of various academic genres. It is planned to conduct seminars and workshops at which students discuss course topics based on the material of their research projects, and also analyze the experience of conducting certain research projects by other scholars.
Course participants will submit short written responses on the course-related tasks, book reviews (about 1000-1500 words) and finally, drafting of research proposals related to their master’s or other projects.
