Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims: This mandatory course serves to monitor the master thesis writing process in global history and global studies. First and foremost, this is a course to support the student's writing process
Parts of your thesis will be feedbacked by your peers and the professor.
Students should be aware that an academic text's content, e.g., ideas, analysis, or insights, must not be separated from its style. After all, language is the medium through which scholars present and arrange their thoughts.

Method: Students are required to write a part of their thesis twice. The first draft is submitted and subjected to constructive criticism in content, organization, and style. The second draft shows the kind of improvement satisfying to both the students of the course and the professor (and hopefully also your supervisor).

Contents: According to this goal, this seminar focuses on how to deal with feedback?
Whether you are submitting an article to a journal or a thesis project, you will receive feedback in the form of a reviewer's comments. In this seminar, how to proceed with such comments. We will consider some concerns, including determining your revision priorities, what to do when you receive conflicting advice from reviewers or your supervisor, how to address points of disagreement, and how to engage with feedback seriously while also maintaining your vision.

In the first step, thesis projects will be presented, some in class and all on Moodle. The main focus is on students writing their thesis. Additionally, they are encouraged to respond to a draft of another student's work, preferably overlapping with his/ her area of interest. That is not about judging but helpful feedback.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participants must be in the active phase of research for and writing their master thesis.
Students should be open to peer motivation.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Regular attendance in class is mandatory and determines the grade. Unfortunately, the course design will not work for master thesis candidates who cannot participate regularly (Cf. Comments above).
