To attain these objectives, the students will analyze research in information systems in terms of the methods currently used in the field and how well IT researchers are applying these methods. In addition, students will apply this new knowledge throughout the seminar through a variety of methodological exercises and by developing a research proposal on a subject of their choice. Students will be encouraged to share their interpretations of the assigned readings, as well as analyze and critique them constructively. They will be asked to write summary syntheses on different subjects, complete methodological exercises and make presentations to their fellow students. Finally, students will draft a research proposal on a subject of their choice.
