Serving as basic orientation for students' university education, the aim of the seminar is to stimulate students' intellectual curiosity, foster active, heuristic, explorative learning, and lay the foundations for integrated arts and sciences. To this end, students will learn fundamental research skills and basic methods of scientific thought. Students will also undertake "mini projects" through group-work, enabling them to practice the basic skills they have learned in actual research. IGS students will be divided into three classes with approximately 14 participants each. |
