Course Content
After the seminar students are expected to participate in a scientific discussion critically reviewing the approach taken and suggesting areas of related and future research as well as topics that could be included in the course. The expected is 140 hours. Much of this is used for preparing lectures, reading papers and advancing academic work of the students that are presented at the course.
Teaching Method
1) Seminar with presentations on recent research in transport research, including discussions related to state-of-art techniques, data collection, models, and papers. 2) Discussion of tools and techniques related to publishing. Students should bring their own paper to the course, which will be discussed and developed over the course. 3) Talks are given by internal and external teachers as well as the students, who will present own work, seminal papers as be opponents.
