Wissenschaftliches Denken, Arbeiten und Schreiben (iversity)

Wissenschaftliches Denken, Arbeiten und Schreiben (iversity)

Willst du bereits vor dem Studium die Grundlagen des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens erlernen? Oder steht die erste große Hausarbeit an und du möchtest wissen, wie du am besten vorgehst? Hier lernst du, wie du jede wissenschaftliche Arbeit meisterst.

Wir möchten mit Ihnen das wissenschaftliche Denken, Arbeiten und Schreiben entwickeln.
Der Kurs beginnt Philosophisch. Wir werden erörtern, was Wissenschaft tut und wie sie sich vom Alltagswissen unterscheidet. Danach wird es aber schnell praktisch und wir führen Sie zu einer eigenen kleinen Hausarbeit, die bereits Hochschulniveau entspricht. Alle Grundtechniken wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens von Zitation bis Datenerhebung werden hierbei vermittelt, wir sprechen dabei auch über Lerntypen und Arbeitsorganisation.
Was werde ich lernen?

  • Warum und wie man Wissenschaft betreiben kann,
  • Wie man eine Hausarbeit schreibt (Thema, Recherche, Auswertung, Schreiben)
  • Wie man mit der eigenen Arbeitsweise zum Erfolg kommt.
  • Wie man richtig zitiert und Quellenangaben macht.
  • Wie und warum man Daten sammelt und auswertet um bestimmte Fragen zu beantworten.

Deep Time: Discovering an Ancient Earth (Coursera)

Ever since our ancestors ventured onto the African savanna, human beings have searched, explored, and wondered about the world. Nowadays, and certainly for most, science is the vehicle that takes us along a path towards understanding nature. It can bring us from sub-atomic realms to the most distant galaxies. Largely through the discipline of geology, science allows us to push back the mists of time and peer into a past measured in billions of years, and aptly referred to as “Deep Time.” Climb on board!

AstroTech: The Science and Technology behind Astronomical Discovery (Coursera)

Modern astronomy has made some astonishing discoveries - how stars burn and how black holes form; galaxies from the edge of the universe and killer rocks right next door; where the elements come from and how the expanding universe is accelerating. But how do we know all that? The truth is that astronomy would be impossible without technology, and every advance in astronomy is really an advance in technology. But the technology by itself is not enough. We have to apply it critically with a knowledge of physics to unlock the secrets of the Universe.
