Course detail
Introduction to Bachelor Thesis - CHM
FCH-BC_UBP_CHMAcad. year: 2021/2022
The students will learn what basic parts of scientific texts are and what their content is. They will get to know literature sources and learn how to make background research. They will repeat and improve knowledge regarding data processing and data presentation. The acquired knowledge will be tested within review of bachelor's thesis (BT) written in previous years. The theme of BT will be similar as the actual one of the students. The work will be advised from the point of completeness and content of particular parts, intelligibility and typographic rules, relationship between the title and the scopes to the selection of testing methods, measurement conditions, the form of processing and evaluation of data including formulation of conclusion.

Aims
- structure of all specialized/scientific texts (protocols, thesis, scientific articles) is the same,
- it is necessary to import all its sections of proper content for completeness and intelligibility of the text,
- except technical/scientific accuracy and exactness of presented data it is necessary to present results in a standard form (Figures and Tables), and
- at the end it is necessary to amend the whole text according to valid typographic rules.
The unit form of the text facilitates orientation and intelligibility considerably.
