Course content
|
The course is conducted throughout the entire duration of the doctoral study program, during which each student presents the progress of their dissertation project each academic year (each student thus presents their dissertation project three times in total). The course is designed so that, ideally, all students and supervisors from all years meet together to familiarize themselves with the dissertation topics across the entire doctoral program. The assessment committee is composed of at least two members from the field council and the supervisor of the respective dissertation project, who serves as the chair of the committee. Within the course, students present the ongoing results of their dissertation research. When presenting the progress of their dissertation, students introduce their project and dissertation theses, discuss the selected methodology and theoretical framework, and present partial results. Through this process, students develop, practice, and refine essential skills and abilities: Writing skills: including the ability to create bibliographic references, understanding ethical principles of scientific work, written presentation of results, familiarity with various types of academic writing, structuring texts, and time management. Presentation skills: including participation in academic discussions, presenting and defending their own positions based on persuasive and well-founded arguments, and the ability to adopt an open attitude toward different disciplinary and methodological perspectives. The committee (as well as fellow students) provides critical feedback to the student on each step of their research and dissertation preparation.
