Course Syllabus

Abstract

The course is delivered to the first year master students of the Master Program ‘Governance of Science, Technology and Innovation’ at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). The course length is 228 academic hours in total of which 32 are classroom hours and 196 hours are devoted to self-study. It continues logically the course ‘Scientific research Methods for STI’ and is designed to help students to foster their work on research projects and develop term papers. The course is divided into two blocks. The first includes seminars discussing research data analysis and academic communication. The second block is a series of seminars fully dedicated to individual work-in-progress presentations. The academic control is based on one essay (peer review), an exam (organized in a form of workin-progress presentation) and in-class engagement.
