Description
The aim is to introduce the students to scientific research, from planning through obtaining the results and writing a scientific report. The work can be either literature based comparison/review with conclusions drawn from it or small supervised research (theoretical or experimental) with a written part.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course the student:
- is able to carry out small scale scientific research along good scientific practices under supervision
- can acquire scientific knowledge from different disciplines and combine those within the studied nanoscience phenomenon
- is able to write scientific text with logic and clarity, where (s)he analyze his/her results, and is able to draw conclusions based on available information and alternative possibilities
- can present the theoretical background of her/his own results and put that into wider context.
Description of prerequisites
