Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The seminar for master students aims to provide them with a space to present their ongoing thesis work and to receive feedback on this. In particular, students are asked to address problems and challenges they are facing at the current stage of their work and to share and discuss them in class.Students will work in small groups with their respective supervisors, presenting and discussing their work in these groups and making progress on the research process together. In addition, there will be four plenary units with all participating students, dedicated to discussing cross-cutting issues within the thesis process.
