Curr. 2021 § 5 (1) 3:

Students acquire the ability to characterise the fundamentals of empirical studies. They can  assign the most important qualitative and quantitative survey methods to the respective scien- tific-theoretical and methodological background and decide which research questions require  which methods. 

They are able to critically evaluate existing empirical studies and independently carry out the  first phases of a research process (formulation of a research question, data collection, method  reflection) qualitatively and/or quantitatively or using method triangulation.

In this PS you can practise a number of aspects of the empicial research process, as covered by the lecture (VO). You learn how to critically assess the qualities of empirical studies and will have the opportunity to practice crucial steps of a research process in a small team (formulate a research question, produce data, reflect your experience methodologically).

small research assignments, deep reflection of your research experience in the classroom, research reports

participation in class, written assignments
