A Flying Start to Your Thesis 1: Learn About Literature Searching and Source Criticism
Where can I find books and articles for my assignment? What kind of literature can I use as a source, and how do I know which sources are appropriate? What does peer review really mean? This course answers these questions—and more.
We'll show you how to search for the literature you need and how to evaluate which sources are suitable for your assignment. The course lasts about two hours and is the first of two sessions designed to help you get started on your assignment. The second course is called A flying start to your thesis 2: Learn About Citation, Using Sources, and Plagiarism, but each course can be taken independently. You decide whether to attend both or just one.

- Effective literature searching
- Using databases like Oria, Google Scholar, and Web of Science
- Evaluation of sources for your thesis
Target audience: This course is primarily intended for bachelor’s and master’s students, but PhD candidates and instructors may also benefit. Everyone is welcome!
Duration: 2 x 45 minutes
