A series of presentations by faculty, outside speakers and students.

Students are familiarized with problems that are frequently encountered during different phases of empirical research. Subsequently, students are guided through problem solving in an ongoing research project. Students gain experience in documentation, resolution, and the implementation of the solutions of problems in empirical research.

Seminars where faculty, outside speakers and Ph.D. students present their academic research.
