    The aim of the module is to create a research proposal for the master's thesis.
    With this you can apply to a supervisor (company and/or professor) and show that 
    you have already dealt intensively with the topic and also know how to approach 
    a scientific work.
    Of course, some things will change in the course of writing and 
    through discussions with the supervisor, but you already have essential steps 
    for the structure of the work at hand.

  Understand how empirical studies are structured, how results are to be evaluated, why there cannot be 100% proof
  Overview of methods, study design, normal distribution, variables, scale levels, significance tests and application 
  to your own research question
