Instructions for text submission:
- The text should be work-in-progress, such as a thesis chapter/article draft.
- If you are planning to submit a longer text draft, please indicate clearly which parts of the document you wish the readers to comment on.
- Remember that your readers are qualified but not necessarily specialized in your field of research, and you should therefore provide reading instructions accordingly.
- Texts are to be submitted one week before the seminar.
Instructions for active participation:
-
Please read all the submitted texts and prepare comments for each text for the discussion.
-
After the seminar, you are expected to send written comments to the author of the text.
-
When preparing your comments, you may keep in mind the following questions for thesis evaluation:
- Are the research questions and the hypotheses clear and have they been formulated precisely enough?
- Are the research questions and the hypotheses fruitful in terms of the research situation?
- To what extent are the materials referred to and the methods used suited to the purpose?
- Have the conclusions that the material allows been drawn, and are they tenable?
- Is the handling of relevant literature satisfactory?
- Are the form of presentation, the layout and the scientific apparatus satisfactory?
