Forming potential analyses on the topic we chose together
Turning the abovementioned process into words, i.e. writing a convicing research paper

Up to 6 ECTs ("fachaffine Schlüsselqualifikation") are offered for modules
The final grade for the course is decided based on the final submission of the writing samples
