Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of the seminar is to support and optimize your master's thesis through feedback from fellow students and the course instructor. In doing so, the knowledge acquired in the previous studies for writing and evaluating the theoretical part of a scientific thesis (master thesis) as well as the corresponding knowledge for the empirical part will be updated, applied and extended. Specifically, these are: Skills for designing, conducting, evaluating and interpreting the results of an empirical study as well as the ability to evaluate studies.
In addition, your skills for giving and receiving differentiated performance feedback will be enhanced.
Unit procedure:

1. speakers design the unit or their time slot independently with the goal of getting the most helpful feedback possible.
2. presentations should be made available to the others via Moodle in advance (the evening before the seminar).
3. three questions should be posted before the unit and brought to the unit.
4. buddy support: each master student has a partner who supports him/her (viewing and discussing the presentation beforehand, giving feedback on the concept, ...) and also documents this. The buddy is also responsible for logging the feedback for the presenter(s) during the presentation. Additionally, there should also be a buddy who gives feedback on the first concept of the master thesis (before giving it to the supervisor). This can, but does not have to be, the same person.
