Get ready for your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis
Now, learn as part of self-study why research question, outline and proposal are crucial.
How to approach your Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis? The brand-new course “Ready for take-off: How to start your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis” teaches you the most important prerequisites for a research or writing task, i.e. writing the research question and the proposal and creating the initial outline. The course offers tips for communicating with your supervisor, as well as information about the relevant services of the ETH Library, such as research and management of literature.
You will also listen to an interview with a former Master’s student and her professor at the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET): enthusiasm for your topic, independence, good collaboration with your supervisor, constructive feedback and good planning are crucial elements on the path to a successful Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis.
The course can be accessed on the Moodle teaching and learning platform and can be completed in about 75 minutes of self-study.
Moodle requires user authentication from ETH Zurich.
Good to know: The course on Moodle is also conducted as a webinar, for which you have to register online.
