| Make-up exam/re-exam |

| Course content and structure |
|
The Interdisciplinary Research Methods course is designed to
introduce BLC students to research methods, the nature of their
participation in social science research and reflection. The course
is organised around lectures, group discussions and individual
study. The course focuses on interdisciplinary problem-oriented
knowledge production in project work.
The practical, reflective, and reflexive tasks of the
contemporary Business School researcher as an individual aware of
her or his own cognitional processes will be developed. Building
upon this self-appropriation, the methods lectures will introduce
and/or refine interview methods and skills and explore how
different qualitative and quantitative methods approaches can be
used to enhance research validity and reliability. Key aspects of
the philosophy of science will be covered insofar as these result
in more proficient, reflective, and reflexively aware
organizational researchers.
|
| Teaching methods |
| Methods include lectures, class discussion, class
exercises (individual and group work), and homework. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| The principal way for students to receive
feedback on their readings and work for this course is through
active participation in lectures. |
