Inhoud
| Overview This course comprises several separate activities that are organised by the institute or the student(s) themselves. They all revolve around the strengthening the students’ ability to function as a critical, independent and effective researcher and professional. Professional skills (2EC): The professional skills development activities start with a DISC assessment. By means of a personal assessment (DISC report) students gain knowledge of different and preferred communication styles. By this students can learn to communicate effectively and advice effectively. Students will be trained to translate preferred communication style toward individual qualities and acknowledge the qualities of others in order to strengthen the team’s communication, collaboration and performance. Students are asked to use the DISC assessment in their professional development. Students can practise communication skills during the projects to be proven in the portfolio. Project tutors can provide feedback on request of the students. In addition, workshops will be provided to lecture students about working in a professional environment. Topics include code management, version control, business case, IP patenting and introduction to the scrum methodology. Research (3EC) In the creative thinking workshop students are introduced to lateral thinking. Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. By means of several methods students learn to broaden their perspective and choose other point of views. In addition, students are provided lectures/tutorials on Scientific reading and writing. Recent and historical scientific papers will be analysed and discussed in terms of structure, language, science, and validity. Against that background, students will then be assigned writing tasks on the different elements of a scientific paper. Students are stimulated to contribute with own work. Context learning line All professional and research program outcomes are particularly trained and developed by the completion of the graduation project. During the research and professional skills modules students will develop these learning outcomes during the workshops, (peer) feedback and discussion sessions and in the project modules. The emphasis of this semester is the realisation and implementation of a professional software solution in a team effort. |
