The Bachelor Colloquium is designed for students working on their final thesis with a focus on qualitative research methods. It covers the following topics:
(1) What is an "appropriate" research question?
(2) What is "appropriate" literature, and where do I find it?
(3) What is an "appropriate" research design?
(4) How to "appropriately" generate and report research outcomes?
The concept of the Colloquium is "inverted". That is, rather than lecturing, the Colloquium centers on students' thesis projects as well as the questions and concerns that arise in and through them. These questions and concerns are elicited through short, max. 3-min thesis "pitches" (without slides) and jointly discussed. This enables collective learning that directly relates to students' thesis projects on the one side, and raises important issues that students might have thought about regarding their own project on the other.

The objective of the Colloquium is to assist students working on their Bachelor thesis with a focus on qualitative research methods in gaining clarity on the research process and standards of scientific work.
