Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course is delivered to the second year 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 342 academic hours in total of which 96 are classroom hours and 246 hours are devoted to self-study. The ultimate goal of the course is to extend students’ expertise in the field of STI studies: to introduce them to the forefront research topics and practical issues, addressed by experts and academic community; to share the first-hand experience of using different methods for STI-related research projects; and to discuss the typical mistakes and helpful research tips. Equally, the course is designed to assist students in choosing relevant topics for their master research, writing their master theses research proposals (MTRPs), and their further realization in master theses. To achieve these goals, the first block of the course includes a series of thematic (project-driven) lectures of experts in the field of STI studies, followed by moderated group discussions. As a part of this block, students’ projects are also presented. The second block of the course is fully given to students writing their MTRPs under supervision, followed by their defenses within the series of research seminars, organized in groups.
