CT10A7022 Personal Literature Study - Online teaching 6.1.2025-20.4.2025
Selected type of literature study on a selected theme. Depending on the need, the literature study may follow the guidelines of systematic literature review, systematic mapping study, snowballing etc. Students will be introduced to these methods and possible tools in the beginning of the course. A list of selected themes for the possible literature reviews can be found at the course page in Moodle. Student may also propose his/her own topic (e.g. on the field of thesis work). The student contacts then instructor and agrees on the personal implementation of the study including the workload and the schedule. Students produce a report based on the literature by the end of the course semester (fall or spring).
