Course content
|
The course is conducted throughout the entire standard period of study, during which each student presents the progress of their dissertation project each year (each student will thus present their dissertation project three times). The course is designed in such a way that, ideally, all students and supervisors from all years meet together to become familiar with the dissertation topics across the entire doctoral program. The evaluation committee consists of at least two members from the field council and the supervisor of the given dissertation, who acts as the chair of the committee. Within the course, students present the ongoing results of their dissertation projects. As part of the dissertation progress presentations, students present their dissertation project and theses, discuss the selected methodology and theoretical framework, and share their partial results. Through this process, students acquire, practice, and develop essential skills and competencies: * **In writing:** the ability to create bibliographic references, knowledge of ethical principles in scientific work, written presentation of results, different genres of academic texts, text structuring, and time management. * **In presentation:** participation in professional discussions, presenting and defending their own opinions based on persuasive and professionally grounded arguments, and the ability to maintain an open attitude toward other disciplinary and methodological perspectives. The committee (as well as fellow students) provides critical feedback to each student on the individual steps of their research and the preparation of their dissertation.
