Teaching evidence-based software engineering to master students: a single lecture within a course or an entire semester-long course?

In this paper, we summarize our perspective on teaching evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) to master students. In this semester, we aimed to investigate this subject as a single lecture within a master course called Software Architecture instead of an entire semester-long course called EBSE. Each of the students delivered a systematic mapping study report related to the software architecture at the end of the semester and these project reports showed that this teaching approach is quite useful for master students even though this teaching activity is too short.
