Course detail
Academic Sources and Citations
FSI-0ZC Acad. year: 2020/2021 Winter semester
The course is focused on FME students who are studying the third or higher degree. The course provides the information about searching relevant sources suitable for writing the thesis and about the citation principles.
Searching available sources is accompanied by evaluation of relevant professional information. The chapters about citations give the ethics knowledge about using the someone else's source and gives the attention to the citation of the sources which has been used. The course deals with electronics information sources and the way of using the citation manager Citace PRO.
The course is held in a distance form, through e-learning in Moodle. It uses exercises, videotutorials, testing.
