Teaching methods:

Seminar: Classes of a conversational nature with multimedia presentations, papers by participants regarding the issues discussed at the seminar, and, above all, a master's thesis and the results of research conducted

Laboratory: independent research work under the supervision of an academic teacher

Short description:

The aim of the master's seminar is to prepare the student to write a master's thesis and present the results. During the hours allocated for the master's thesis, the student performs planned experiments and prepares the master's thesis.

Full description:

The seminar includes:

- providing knowledge necessary to write a thesis

- improving the ability to write works that meet the formal and substantive requirements set for diploma theses

- familiarizing students with the principles of copyright law

- improving group work skills under the supervision of a supervisor

- improving the ability to search and process information necessary to independently write a master's thesis

Each student presents at least two papers:

1. presenting general information about the work he performs (theoretical introduction)

2. experimental part - the purpose of the work, the methods used and the results obtained.

Each paper ends with a discussion of the seminar participants on its content and the quality of the presentation and statements.

Laboratory: Within the hours allocated for the master's thesis, the student performs planned experiments and prepares the master's thesis under the supervision of an academic teacher.
