Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The seminar for master students aims to provide students a space to present their ongoing thesis work, and to receive feedback. 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 work in small groups and present and discuss their work and progress. In addition, there will be four plenary units with all participating students, dedicated to discussing cross-lying issues of the thesis process.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

To pass the seminar, students are expected to complete the following tasks:

For the plenary units, prepare one slide and a three minute presentation of your thesis, and write two papers (750 to 1500 words) related to a specific assignment.

For the group units, agree with your supervisor/group coordinator on at least two writing tasks (this is done in the first group unit); write, present and discuss them in the group.
Comment on two texts and/or presentations of your group colleagues.
Read all texts written by your group colleagues.
Productively engage in the discussion.

For those doing their first master seminar, one of the group presentations is expected to be an expose of the thesis project.

For those doing their second master seminar, a required assignment in the course is to hand in a complete first draft of the empirical chapter of their thesis. One or both group assignments can be part of this. Latest deadline for the complete empirical chapter draft is September 30th.

This course uses the plagiarism-detection service Turnitin for larger assignments.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The grading of the course is based on the separate assessment of different tasks on a scale of 1-5.

Written tasks and presentations in the group units: 45 percent, assessed individually;
Comment(s) in the group units: 15 percent, assessed individually;
Written tasks for the plenary units: 25 percent, assessed individually;
In-class participation: 15 percent, assessed individually

Minimum requirements:
To successfully complete the course, a weighted average of at least 4,5 is required. Failure to meet the attendance regulations, to deliver course assignments on time or to adhere to standards of academic work may also be considered in the course assessment.

If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme and the attendance regulations must be met. If a required task is not fulfilled, e.g. a required assignment is not handed in or if the student does not meet the attendance requirements, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course.
