| Aim | The course gives students the opportunity to have in-depth knowledge of scientific ethics and its practices. The course aims to develop practical and writing skills within the framework of ethical codes to best prepare students for their academic careers. The scope of the course includes detailed information on how the research will be conducted within the framework of the ethical code required by the academic field. Structural discussions on real and hypothetical cases are beneficial in this respect. It aims to prevent students from encountering similar ethical problems in their academic life. It also aims to prepare students for academic studies by supporting their skills in paper preparation process. |
