Course contents

In the second semester Dance Research Methodology focuses on issues regarding the concept and development of students' research text (their bachelor's thesis). This covers particularly conception and adaptation principles for a research text such as citations, literature and resource references, footnotes, addendums and their concept, text graphics, etc. Also, in the course, in general, students deal with methodology issues which they encounter in their work and which define the topic selection and texts in which the issue is displayed. During the semester students, if possible, take part in the research activity of the Dance Research Institute, in possible attendance of colloquiums and seminars, and if possible with their own contributions.
