| 04-08.02.2019 | See BB | This is a one week full time course-block prior to joining your research group. In this course-block you will acquire knowledge that is required for successfully handling your bachelor research project. For A/N students all courses are compulsory, for A students the topic of a few courses have been covered before and these are not obligatory (but definitely recommended). |
| 04.02.2019 | A and A/N de Sitter 10.00-11.00 | Introduction session to BRP; a combined astronomy/physics event. It will address the program for the Research Skills week and summarize the regulations and expectations for the BRP. |
| 04.02.2019 | A and A/N Postponed | Science communication. This course learns you how to commu-nicate your research to the general public. |
| 05.02.2019 | A and A/N HL204 09.00-11.00 | Library and Literature Search. This course learns you to use the tools needed to find the scientific literature relevant for your BRP. |
| 05.02.2019 | A/N HL204 11.00-13.00 | Statistics & Data Analysis I. Data need to be treated, statistically analyzed, fitted to models ... but how to do this in an unbiased and mathematically sound way ? |
| 05.02.2019 | A and A/N HL204 13.30-15.30 | Project management I. Taking care of your BRP is a complex process. In this course you will learn techniques on how to cope with the challenges to run your project. |
