VV070 Seminar on Master Thesis Writing
VV070 Seminar on Master’s Thesis Writing
Seminar on Master’s Thesis Writing aims to help students who are in their final
semesters to complete their theses. The seminar is composed of two different
tracks: class track and individual session track. During the first track we will
meet in class and discuss common problems in writing a diploma thesis in
English; academic vocabulary, proper writing style, making and supporting
arguments and common writing mistakes will be among the areas covered. During
the second track students will meet with the instructor individually and discuss
their progress on their theses. For each individual session students will send
portions of their theses in advance in order to receive feedback. The dates of
the individual sessions will be specified during the first regular seminar.
Please note, however, that this does not aim to be an editing service but rather
a course that gives the students the opportunity to practice their academic
writing skills and receive feedback. In addition, because the class has fewer
lessons than usual, students must not miss more than one class.
Structure (may be subject to change):
4 seminars
2-3 individual sessions
