The fourth semester seminar
This is a workshop seminar where we are going to talk about the master’s thesis process thus far and discuss the road ahead now that you are in your final semester. We are going to talk about the following topics:
- How to structure a master’s thesis.
- Different challenges with theory, methodology and analysis.
- How to handle possible obstacles in the writing process, such as demotivation, stress and writer’s block.
- How to submit your master’s thesis.
- The oral presentation and examination process
Prior to attending the seminar, you need to prepare a brief note (approximately 1 page) where you:
- Explain the theme of your master’s thesis, the research question(s), method/approach and the purpose of the thesis/study.
- Explain what you have accomplished thus far and what remains to be done.
- List two or three things you are happy with in your own thesis work, and two things you need/wish to improve/work more with.
Bring the note to the seminar for the group discussion sessions.
