Revision as of 21:36, 28 January 2024
The goal of the course is to introduce students to the technologies of scientific research. The course teaches how to plan, perform, and present research results. It provides formats acknowledged by other researchers. Each student works with an advisor and a consultant to learn how to formally state research problems, find adequate references, and generate novel and significant ideas for problem-solving. The expected outcome of the course is a research paper submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.
The course has been successfully delivered during the last eight years. Each year 15-30 students perform their research projects. Each project ends with a scientific paper, a code, a presentation, and a video. The course has a repository with over 500 projects and its YouTube channel.
Goals
- General: to learn how to convey the author's message to the reader in a clear way.
- Practical: to publish a scientific paper, to be welcome in the research society.
Delivery
- Research paper in a peer-reviewed scientific journal
- Computational experiment with analysis and code to reproduce it
- Slides with brief comprehensive results
- Video of the presentation speech

Consultations
- The workflow goes around each week, namely, week 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
- The iterative consultations and delivery of results are highly welcome! Start during the weekends.
- Deadline for the last version is Wednesday 6:00 am. The review goes on Wednesday's working day.
- Each symbol A gives +1 according the system (А-, А, А+). No symbol gives A0.
Workload
- Student's workload depends on the group and can vary from 54 hours and up.
- A consultant is expected to make one-hour meetings weekly and promptly to student's questions. So it takes 12 to 16 hours.
- An expert is expected to state the problem and evaluate the delivery. It takes one-hour maximum. And we guess researchers are ready to discuss their favorite problems. It creates a negative workload: for a problem the expert solves as a daily routine, some delivery appears after several months of synchronized work. The quality of the stated problem matters.
