IS 703: Master Seminar
As part of the seminar, students are assigned either a published paper or a working paper from the field of Information Systems. They critically evaluate their assigned paper based on a predefined set of criteria. Building on this evaluation, and incorporating additional literature identified in their own research, students develop and write their own research proposal.
