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.

The History of Medicine: Philosophy, Science, and Psychology (Coursera)

"History of Medicine" provides an accessible historical and interdisciplinary perspective on medicine, focused primarily upon therapy and practice, to achieve better understanding of the scope, practice, and limits of medicine. Medicine is defined as the treatment of disease. Human attempts to understand and treat disease will be seen as evolving from the spiritual and mystical practices of the distant past, to the rational approach of the Classical World, and finally to the scientific thinking of the Renaissance and beyond.
