Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
All study courses previously acquired in the study program.
Objective:
The aim of the study course is to promote students' ability to create a research plan, develop research goals, hypotheses and tasks, select and apply appropriate data acquisition, processing and analysis methods, independently formulate and defend their conclusions, as well as provide an opportunity to demonstrate students' readiness to use acquired knowledge independently, skills and competences in solving academic or professional problems.
Assessment
Unaided Work:
The development of the research paper is carried out by the student independently, in good faith and in compliance with the rights and interests of third parties: all references to the sources; the information is used only to the extent necessary for the research; personal data and the names, residences or locations of legal persons are usually anonymised or coded (pseudonymized). The student follows the instructions of the supervisor, Methodological instructions for students of the Faculty of Pharmacy for the development of research work, Regulations on the development and defense of qualification work, student research work, bachelor's thesis and master's thesis, methodological instructions for references and references.
Assessment Criteria:
The research work is evaluated by the National Degree Examination Commission according to the following criteria – the content of the submitted final work corresponds to the chosen topic (on a 10-point scale); compliance of the content of the final work with the level of educational qualification (on a 10-point scale); compliance of the conclusions with the aims and tasks of the work (on a 10-point scale); compliance of the submitted work with the main formal requirements specified in the regulations (visual design, volume, style, grammar, etc.) (on a 10-point scale); intelligibility of the presentation, structure and observance of the time limit (on a 10-point scale); ability to answer questions and participate in a discussion (on a 10-point scale). Participation of a student in an international scientific conference without obtaining prize-winning place, or co-authorship (for second and subsequent authors) for publication, if the activity corresponds to the agreed topic, the resulting rating is increased by 1 point. The resulting evaluation of the final work is determined from the evaluation of the reviewer (reviewers) and the members of the commission.
