Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students learn to communicate the contents of their MA to a broad audience, provide constructive feedback on other people's work, and obtain input to make progress with their research.
Students taking this course should already have an MA thesis topic and a supervisor by the beginning of the semester.

Assessment and permitted materials

In order to pass this course students need to explain the material developed in their MA theses to a broad audience and give valuable feedback on the presentations of others.
Two presentations (each 1/3 of the final grade) on their own work and feedback on presentations of others (1/3 of the grade). After each presentation the presenter will receive an evaluation of their performance.

Participants are also encouraged to give feedback to the presenter outside of the class.
