Learning outcomes:
Introduction to EDP:
After successfully completing this module, students will have acquired basic knowledge of EDP and various standard programs in order to be able to use them routinely as their studies progress. The requirements and previous knowledge from the respective academic year will be taken into account here. In particular, students will be able to write scientific papers according to the Department´s guidelines using selected software (e.g. Word, Power Point). They will also be familiar with HTW-specifics regarding electronic data processing, e.g. wireless LAN or VPN client. Sudents will be able to use the CLIX e-learning system.
 
Academic Work Techniques I:
After successfully completing this module, students will understand how academic work is done and have experienced it in different contexts. They will be familiar with the tools required for scientific work and be able to use them. They will be able to employ places and instruments that hold relevant knowledge for scientific work in a target-oriented, qualified and result-oriented manner. They will have experience in writing scientific texts and have criteria for differentiating between scientific and non-scientific texts. They will be familiar with different types of texts and will be able to apply academic methods to their own work.
 
Academic Work Techniques II:
Consolidation of the basics, knowledge and techniques acquired in the first course: Selecting and analyzing suitable texts, preparing excerpts, avoiding plagiarism, methods and results, and archiving texts for study. Research in scientific (also English-language) literature. Students will be able to apply their knowledge appropriately, thoughtfully and criteria-based.
